How do you deal with unspooled cuts of cable?

Okay,

So this might be a noob question but I'm so sick of spaghetti cable I'll take the hit.

I don't do a huge amount of volume so whenever we need to do a sub panel etc we buy the wire from our distributor by the foot. So often I have several unspooled lengths of 2awg etc that I need to pull. We don't always have enough room to uncoil them and pull, which works okay if you have space. Is there something I am missing? Does anybody have a way to spool these cut bundles so you can pull cleanly and efficiently? There's got to be a trick I don't know about.

Thanks!
 
I think I saw a trick where a cable (or hose??) was coiled _inside_ of a shallow bucket. The bucket was on a turntable and could spin to uncoil the cable.
