The solution is to
hold off on full flaps until you are on short final.


always a good idea

Of course if you are really good, and are flying a real airplane, to hell
with
the flaps. Slip it in. Can always "unslip," you know, but "unflapping" is
looking for trouble.

Actually, the dive brakes on my sailplane will convert the 50:1 glider (30:1
with approach flaps) to 5:1 and back in the blink of an eye. Slips aren't
needed or, for that matter, very effective.
