Most people are under the impression that entering Sage Mode is a difficult ordeal for Jiraiya. The fact is that there are many ways in which Jiraiya can perform the task, and many ways he can buy time to summon the two great Sages Fukusaku and Shima.
1. Naruto's method
Jiraiya has the ability to make Shadow Clones. He can enter Sage Mode the same way Naruto did - by making clones and having them sit still to gather nature energy. Once the clones have attained enough nature energy, he can extinguish them, allowing him to enter Sage Mode himself.
The instant the clone was extinguished, the real Naruto entered Sage Mode since all experience from the clone goes to the original user. The same applies with Jiraiya.
2. Hiding in a toad's belly
Jiraiya specializes in summoning toads. After summoning a toad (or the eso****us of one), he can crawl inside its mouth and enter Sage Mode there. The toad can serve as a meat shield to protect from attacks while Jiraiya sits still and gathers Nature Energy to enter Sage Mode. Even better, he can use this time to summon Fukusaku and Shima.
But sometimes a toad's exterior doesn't provide enough protection. Jiraiya would need to hide his presence so his opponent can't find him. One way for him to do that would be to shrink:
Unless his opponent is a sensor, they won't be able to detect a small frog. Even better, he can use a basic transformation jutsu to turn the frog into a rock or part of the landscape (just like he used a transformation jutsu to make it look like a bar, or how Naruto used a transformation jutsu on Gamabunta):
3. Traveling to Mount Myoboku
What Jiraiya can do in this third situation is create a shadow clone, summon a toad, and hop in the toad's mouth. The toad then reverse summons back to Mount Myoboku, providing a quick escape just like it did for Kabuto (Kabuto presumably teleported back to Ryuchi Cave):
Once in the land of the toads, Jiraiya can either seek out Shima and Fukusaku or simply enter Sage Mode himself (the toad oil fountain would make it even easier). Now he's in Sage Mode, and he crawls back into the toads mouth. The shadow clone that Jiraiya left at the battle scene now summons the toad, with the real Jiraiya inside, who is currently in Sage Mode.
Please post any feedback, thank you ^_^
