I've had to do that 3 times now, I'm all scaredy-cat with my lights. I just dug up a bit by the plant and gently curved the length I wanted down into the ground without breaking the stem, of course, and buried it. I broke a stem on one of the three, but the other two are doing marvelous.

I let my seedlings get a couple of nice leaves on them before I replant. A time frame can be ballparked, but the condition of your plants is the main factor.
