Wow, that is a very nice supply of wire on that transformer.
I'm not sure how others would do it ... but I would anchor one end and wind it out ... then I would go along and use my thumbs to bend it as straight as I could get it. Unless I absolutely had to, I would not use any mechanical tools in the process as I'd be too worried I might damage the enamel.
And it doesn't seem to have any severe bends ... except maybe all the way inside ... so I would be hopeful it will be relatively easy to do.
I know some would stretch it tightly ... which does help a little ... but I don't know if that does any damage. But by the time you've wound the secondary, you should be able to accommodate some imperfections in your primary.
I was surprised at the hole size of your toroid ... it seemed very large. At least you shouldn't run out of room for your primary.
