Ugh, I wish. I'm growing out a pixie cut myself, and with my wold curls, I have gone through every possible stage of poofy fluffball, with months left to go before it's anywhere near long enough to pull back in a pony. My only advice is that if you can bobbypin or clip the front, you can at least get some of it out of your face, and change the shape a bit. That's possible as soon as you have a good 2-3 inches.
ETA: And yes, it can help to get trims or new shapes along the way, too. It will take longer to gain length, but you'll look better doing it.
