You can still plant. The reason you plant it before it comes completely out is so you won't stress it. The plant is EXTREMELY fragile at this age and simply touching it can kill it. As carefully as you can plant is in a pre-dug hole. Careful not to put any pressure on it and have it to were the round leaves are barely poking out. You make want to grow it out inside for a week or two. It'll need mild weather and plent of water if it does stress.
