I don't have a recommendation but suggest you add a power strip to the iron set-up. I put the power strip on the back edge of the iron station. It lights up so I know when the iron is on/off. The last thing I do before bedtime is peek into the room and check that the light is off.
If the station is against a wall, you can add hooks there to hang the extra length of the cord for the iron.
Maggie, Check your iron. There may be a button to shut-off the auto shut-off feature.
