I don't know if it's convention or not, but I like to start with all switches facing away from me (flaps up), and switch "down" for flaps so that the position of the switch mimics the surface.
Don't have a retract plane (yet!) but I think I'd do the same with retracts - albeit requiring the gear switch to be down on startup - and am also curious to learn from others if this is the convention.
