If it's out of the motor fill it full of assembly lube. Then when the motor turns it'll be primed instantly. IF it's already in the motor, your only choice is to crank the motor until you get oil pressure

You can prime the pump by cranking it without any spark plugs till you get the proper amount of pressure.

if it is off the car as the Honda manual recommends take it apart and fill it with petroleum jelly as this allows for the pump to prime. This may sound silly but look it up.
