The built-in T-A-P starts the text on the beginning of the path. If you
have a circle you can open the circle at any point to redefine its
beginning, just add a point (Ctrl-Click) where you want it to start,
another point just before, and delete the segment between the two
(Ctrl-Shift-click). And if you need a closed circle you can reconnect
the two points, the circle will still be starting on one of these.

Otherwise, I have a quite popular plugin to layout text along a path,
with many options that make it somewhat easier to use:
