or the other way around u can rest your finger on the home button for a second (let it read) then press the home button and ur are in
Press the home button to wake the screen and leave finger there for it to be scanned.
You have to press the home button to wake the phone up in the first place so no you can't just keep your finger on the home button.
I ran a test, my buddy on his 5 with a 4 digit passcode of 1111, and me on my 5S with the fingerprint reader and all the extra "steps" everyone seems to be bitching about (having to press the button... it IS a bit complicated, what with all the pressing, touching, clicking, and waiting I guess...).
The results? I TORCHED him. Even with a silly easy unlock code like 1111, I was able to unlock my phone easily twice as fast.
Press the button, leave your finger on the button, ENJOY YOUR UNLOCKED 5S.
It's easy, awesome, and FASTER than the alternative.
Home run every time. Can't get it TO fail now, even if I try to (and it was almost impossible before anyway). It's gone from 99.5% accurate to darn near 100.

It should be noted that timing is important if you have Siri assigned to the home button. It took me several attempts at first, and still occasionally happens, that I will press too long on the home button and Siri pops up, while the phone remains locked.
The required action is, to be exact; press the home button and quickly release the press, but do not break contact with the button surface. A second later, your screen is unlocked and you are taken to the last open app, or the home screen.
