I noticed that after oil changes the oil pressure light stays on for longer than it should. Benteley suggests keeping the filter cover open until the filter fills up with oil. There has to be an easier way.

I have never done that with either of my 1991 525i's
The oil light always goes out very quickly. I never read the Bentley about oil changes and have never heard this.

Very quickly meaning less than a second or about 2-3 seconds.

Well, I've never timed it, but I think about a second or two. How's
that for splitting the difference?
If yours is going out in 2 - 3 seconds, there is nothing to worry about.

no problem here.
i do the oil change, put in a new filter, close canister, turn on car, no problems.
I do the oil changes alone ,using Liqui Molly full synthetic, never noticed something strange with the light of oil.
