Jessie,
I try to minimize the number of times I cycle to flaps by
leaving them down after landing and taxi back to my hangar. They stay
down till I power up for my next start where I hit the flap up toggle
while my PFD comes alive & I go through my start procedure. By the time
my engine is primed the flaps are up and I am ready to crank the engine.
I then put the 3 degrees in so as to not forget before take off. I
actually have several reminders on my check list to put the 3 degrees in
as it is an easy thing to overlook. This procedure minimizes the number
of times I cycle the flap motor and also keeps the flaps out of the way
of control surface damaging visitors.
I follow this procedure because I have hangars at both ends of
my regular commute. I would have the flaps in the up position if/when I
have to leave the plane outdoors overnight. I also retract the flaps
anytime I an taxiing over surfaces with loose debris.

I assume it's also advisable to retract the flaps when on the ground
in any kind of high or gusty wind condition.
