The other thing you can do is make the first move a variable waypoint and that too will solve the issue. This is also how you can teach a homing routine so that the program can start from anywhere and know how to get to a safe home position.
The start of our programs sets the current pose to a variable and then moves to that variable, that is followed by either a simple home waypoint or a more complex home routine depending on the application and how complex the start of the program could be depending on the cell layout.
