Hmmm, sounds like the voice of experience. 
There are a couple of techniques that I know of, there may be more, to prevent or minimize "Integrator Spin Up".
One way is to hold the "Ki" to zero until the robot is enabled, then set it to the calibrated value once enabled. Another approach is to limit how much "Spin Up" is acceptable. Although, this method might limit the "Ki" value so that it is less effective when enabled.
