I mistakenly started to drive off with the electric jack in the down position. Big mistake, of course. The jack was so bent that after a couple of more uses I failed to retract so I had it replaced.
I did two other things that help me remember what to do when setting up or leaving. First, I got a bright orange jack pad, one that is hard to miss when checking to leave. The bright object is a nice visual cue.
Also, I bought two between-the-wheel chocks that when locked in place really do a superb job eliminating the fore and aft rocking that happens when moving about inside the trailer or when parked on a less than level surface. I use these every time before disconnecting so no stress is placed on the electric jack.
So far my new practices have been working well.
