A 15amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit will not overload the circuit. You will only be allowed to plug in 15a devices. 20 Amp receptacles/plugs have a 'T' configuration.

That would never fly in NY, and I would never install it. The 15amp device/receptacle could melt down before the breaker ever tripped. Especially with an extension cord.
