Could you just put the oil in and season it right before you cook since you will have the cast iron out for cooking anyway, instead of waiting until you're all done?
Ideally, you'd do both. Heat the pan, put in some oil, smear it around while it heats, then add oil for cooking. Clean, season.

But at most, you do need to do it at the end. After you clean it, the oil is protecting the surface. Once you have it really well seasoned - the interior will be shiny and slick - you can skip doing it every time.
