GPS flight plan issue

[preid]

Support;
The other day I was flying a flight plan that happened to conflict with ATC over an congested area over LAX. I was asked to turn 20 degrees to allow separation. I flew for about 2 minutes than was cleared back on route. Once I engaged the GPS the system wants to take the shortest distance back to the magenta line, which is a pretty steep (and unneccessary) turn. Is there a way to have the system (other than pressing buttons to d-> waypoint) intercept the magenta line more gracefully, currently I need to manually set a trk to intercept the magenta line, which is fine but when multitasking with ATC, course and other radio items, I would need to switch to TRK from NAV, which can make for more button pressing. It would be great if there was  faster and easy way to intercept a flight plan when forced off the planned route.
Is this or can it be possible? maybe I missed a mode that does this already.
Thank you!
Love the Skyview!!

I've had the exact same issue going through New York. What I do now is, even though I have a flight plan I always fly in track mode. I fly the same course as my flight plan but keep it in track. Then when they ask me to turn to a certain heading or deviate, it is easy by just turning the course. Once I'm out of New York's space and back on track I switch to NAV. I find it much easier than trying to switch back and forth. I keep the left knob in course and I'm ready for them.
