I've seen a "system" where people use bungies to keep the cord above them and tame the excess. Of course I can't find a good picture of it now that I'm trying to duplicate it. I suppose the retractable reels would work, but I have a drop ceiling and I wonder how it would hold up to that sort of pulling. Maybe it wouldn't be any worse than the bungie system.

The way I have it now, the cord is strung up above the ceiling tiles then it hangs about 18" at the middle of the table. I'm less comfortable with that since I found the cord warm to the touch the last time I pressed for an hour or so.
