If I drop the sail for the last 50' or so before the dock at the launch, I usually just spill the sail onto the seat, where it lies ready to be rolled up when I retrieve. If the distance is longer (e.g. no wind and I'm motoring) I'd roll both sails so I don't have to do that later. Only time I would flake the sail is when I dock without retrieving the boat. Different habits, I guess.
Typical scenario for me is to sail all the way to the dock whenever possible. My favorite launches are somewhat protected, so taking the sails down at the dock isn't usually an issue. However, shaving off a few minutes from rigging/de-rigging is always desirable.
