Here is a simple but effective option that I use on my 911. Attach a length of hose to the end of the spark plug and turn it in by hand first. Then take the rubber insert out of your spark plug socket. It will never be a problem for you again. You will need to use the same hose to remove the spark plug as well, you simply loosen it enough to turn by hand.

Yep, it's a Hazet...sold as a plug wrench for the air cooled VW...Hazet # is 2505-2.
I hung on to mine when I sold the car, since I'd already given Evren one as a gift. Works great..Middle adjustable setting and a stubby 3/8" ratchet does the trick. I'm afraid I forget which online vendor I bought them from.

It's available on this page (contol-F for the part number 2505-2) for $50:
HAZET Tools Catalog Page, Hazet Germany I think the one I posted for $20 is probably more useful, but I'm a sucker for the German tools
