Some ideas make me think no way  , some yes that's a good idea . This one is in the yes category

Another one, pull the extension power cable from the wall sock , pull it again and it shoots back in the wall like a vacuum cleaner power lead

But would that roll of wire inside the wall not act like a radiator when power goes through it and (maybe) burn your house down???

That's a good point 


I know when ive used coiled extension leads in the past if they were left coiled some times they became warm to the touch , may be its some thing to do with restricting the length of extension cable when its retracted into the wall , while its in use and under a load , but still some thing to think about .
