Try barring the first 3 strings, since you're freting the G string in the second fret anyway. Another way is to angle your index finger so that the side of it is barring the first three. Aside from that, it's going to take practice and watch you thumb position. I've been playing for two years and its still not easy, but my fingers and hand have gotten strong enough that I can do it fairly quick in transition, using both methods above. The best sounding F or course is the full barre version, and if you don't know what that is, then play E maj and move you fingers up one fret, barring the first fret with your index finger completely. As an FYI, you can continue on down playing F#, G, G#...etc. Wouldn't worry about barre chords right now, but it helps to know.
