How can I set the default pose in the scene editor

I have a model with all its animations in a single take, which I've sliced down into clips by specifying the start and stop frames.

Currently when I place my model in the scene, it looks like the model enters the scene in the bind-pose. Is there a way to make the default pose correspond to a key frame in one of the animations?

I can get by with what I have, but for example if I wanted to use the same character in different scenes, and I wanted to start him place him in the scene say standing up, or lying down, or sitting, etc., the current way of doing business would be very awkward.
