The Fumoto valve with the 'nipple' works well for this. You can attach a drain hose that runs past the shield, and leave it there.

Removing the shield is not that tough, but does require jacking up the front for decent access to the fasteners. The Fumoto is a great time saver in this regard. Anything to speed up a chore as frequent as oil changes pays big dividends over time.
