Yea we sorta tried doin that, but it was the last plug we did, and we were losing a lot of blood and decided to stop.
I think a swivel would be perfect, because its not quite as long as the extension and I could move it to an angle so that it wouldn't hit the exhaust manifolds
I think I've heard people taking off the alternator, but we started doin that but figured it was a bad idea because we weren't really touching it when trying to remove the plug.

trick: lay across the engine
have someone with small hands fit the socket on there
put on like a 3" extension
put ratchet on
go at it
