 Clearly moulded plugs don't suffer from this problem.

 Nope - A wireable Schuko plug comes apart into two sides not a top
and bottom, like the seven pin plugs used for trailer wiring and wireable
IEC plugs. This means that when pulling the plug out you are actually
pushing the two parts together instead of pulling them apart.

 Take a look at this page of wireable plugs and notice how few are
built such that you tug on the cover to remove them.
