On the US ebay.com there are some sellers that will sell T-mobile USA prepaid sim cards internationally but shipping charges are higher (saw US$4.95 to US vs. US$8.85 to UK) plus any customs charges and duties are payable upon delivery. Also the sim will expire with 1-2 months of purchase on most cards that are shipped with a live phone number unless you add airtime (which will extend it up to a year as some others have mentioned). Suggest purchase shortly before travel.

Activating service at a T-Mobile store will cost about $50 with a sim card.
