Minimising the amount you have to take out is something I'd be aiming for. Mount, scope, accessory box.
Putting together a box or bag with all your accessories in a good idea (you could include things like eyepieces, finderscope, favourite star atlases, red torch, beanie, gloves as an example). Work out what you use the most and pack them an easy to find arrangement so you can reach in blind to find them in the dark.
If you think you're going to do some observing in the early morning organise the gear near the door. I'm lucky enough that I would have no hesitation leaving the scope on the verandah and I'd bring down my accessories and jacket to near the door so I just have to grab them on the way out.
And I also warn the family that I'll probably be up and about at an odd hour, so they don't think its prowlers if they do hear me!
