You can use either <home> or control+A to jump to the beginning 
of the line.  I prefer control+A because I don't have to remove 
my fingers from the home-row.

Alternatively, if you type the command without sudo and have hit 
<enter> already, you can type

  sudo !!

and bash will replace the pair of exclamation-points with the 
last command you typed.
