In the days long, long ago when I I owned an iron for dealing with my laundry I had not only an electric iron and an ironing board but an accessory that controlled the cord to the iron.
?
I have no idea what it was called but it consisted with a C-clamp to attach the whole thing to the ironing board and perhaps a foot or two of stiff wire with a loop at the end through which I routed the cord to the iron. It had, in addition, a coil spring next to the clamp which kept the wire with loop standing up straight. It worked quite well in keeping the iron cord from getting snagged on everything.
?
Ah! Here's one for sale.

Not that hard to make one of your own or modify one of these.
