  I use the Free Transform tool.

  After you type the text, make the Free Transform tool active. With it, click and hold on the top center “handle” of the text box. While holding the mouse button down, press and hold Command (Mac) or Control (PC) on your keyboard. Until you hit this key, you would only be able to drag up and down. With the modifier key held down, you now can drag left and right, giving you the ability to skew the text.
