I got Zoe when she was 6 weeks old. Both of her parents had floppy ears. I started taping her's the second day we had her. She doesn't like to keep the tape on either. I figured the vet could do a better job of taping. NOT SO! Zoe took the tape off within a couple of hours of coming home. She is now almost 5 months old (taped off and on for about 3 1/2 months) and both ears aren't as floppy as before but about half does fold down. I prefer the erect ears because I heard they can have more ear infections if down because air can't get in. I would suggest you be diligent with the taping as soon as possible...if it means a lot to you. Otherwise they are just as cute (or maybe even more so) with their floppy ears.
