To convince vim-latex to do that you have to hack the source -- and every
update would make your efforts worthless ;-(

BUT...

it is possible to define functions and commands in your .vimrc, or
better in a .vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim file that would be loaded as
filetype plugin after vim-latex has been loaded.

You have to create the "after/ftplugin" directories and the "tex.vim" file
if they do not exist yet.

In vim a function is defined like this (confere to :help function):

------------------->%-----------------------
function SetPasteTTemplate() 
    set paste
    TTemplate
    set nopaste
endfunction
------------------->%-----------------------

and is called: 

    :call SetPasteTTemplate()

Typing all this is a bit tedious over the time and not a lot better than typing
:set paste, :TTTemplate, :set nopaste, so let's define a handy command
(cf. :help command) in our .vimrc or .vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim!

------------------->%-----------------------
command TT call SetPasteTTemplate()
------------------->%-----------------------

et voilà -- type :TT in command mode and you've got it.

Thank you for asking -- I wanted to figure this out for years, and just
didn't have the idea of using .vimrc instead of the vim-latex source.
This way it's easy, works, and won't be messed up by the next vim-latex
update :-)
