Direct entry question.

Really? Why do you say that? Entries are "recommended". You can do what you want as long as you have a reason for doing it and it works. As long as you hold where you're supposed to it doesn't matter how you get in to the hold.
Fly to, in your example, the VOR, turn to 090, wait a minute and then turn and intercept the course. Hold as instructed. Repeat as necessary.

Really, holding is such an imprecise thing that it's not worth worrying about. Fly in a circle, you're not going anywhere.

Portraying an attitude like that to an examiner wouldn't be the best idea, seeing as holds, while not perfect, are meant to be flown in a particular way.

I don't think he was referring to the entry, which an examiner probably won't worry about. My instructor always told me: Do the entry that requires the least amount of turning.

I just drew your hold (see another post about the benefits of doing it). Your sceanrio is sort of on the cusp between the AIM direct and teardrop. That's one reason you "see" teardrop in it.

That was going to be my suggestion as well. Also a great way to study for the written exam.
