My main rack is perfect to zip tie stuff to the back, as the cental column has a mesh screen across the middle third of the back. I zip tie all the power cords down tight to the right hand side, and have all the interconnects loose on the left. So the weight of the cord is carried by the zip tied spots. For other locations i use wood blocks or rubber bottle stoppers under the bottom of the plug to support them.
Another way to help keep plugs in outlets is to use clay, or BluTack and squeeze a layer around the plug base to seal it to the outlet or chassis body.
Removing the plug later is MESSY, but the BluTack collects itself if you just tap it on the gooey remains. Thus not really a problem.
