In 10.2 or so, you can import a PKCS7 cert/key via the SSL certificates page in the GUI. They'll be converted to PEM format. Is your .cer cert/key a DER format? If so, you can use openssl on LTM or off the box to convert:
DER
openssl x509 -inform der -in certificate.cer -out certificate.pem

If you'd like to see the GUI handle this more gracefully, you could open a case with F5 Support and request an enhancement.
