I used the Shimano SPD pedals that were on my bike when I bought it as platforms until I got a matching set of pedals, shoes and cleats. Speedplay pedals can also be used without the cleats because they're double-sided as well.

It'll be a bit tricky to use the Look-style pedals as platforms, since those are one-sided. I've read somewhere though that you can get platform adapters for them.
