Yes, that's the best way to do it...
	ld HL, 0
Loop:
	add	HL, HL	;HL = HL * 2
	ld	D, H		;DE = HL
	ld	E, L
	add	HL, HL	;HL = HL * 2
	add	HL, HL	;HL = HL * 2
	add	HL, DE	;HL = HL + DE
	;The result is the original HL*10
	;;;store the value of the entered digit in DE;;;
	add	HL, DE
	djnz	Loop

This is kind of rough, but it's basically what should be done...
