You could store the selected plan inside a sessions key and then check if that key exists in the next page... something like:

# in your first view set the session keys of posted plan

if 'express' in request.POST:
   request.session['express'] = 'express chosen' # strings are easier to handle

# add the other plans to the if statement
# in the next page's view function, add keys to context if they are in the session framework like so

if 'express' in request.session:
    express = request.session['express']

# add the other plans to the if statement

Now in the template, check if the variables exist to select option as default...

 <input type="radio" {%if express%}checked{%endif%}>
 <label>Express</label>

 <!-- repeat for the other plans -->
