Same issue with lots of modern, coil-on-plug, DOHC engines. You put a couple of turns electrical tape around the junction of the socket and extension and get it done that way.
OR you can take out the rubber insert in the spark plug socket. Loosen the plug and the pull out the socket. Then take a piece of fuel line tubing and slip it over the end of the plug and pull it out. To put in a plug just put the top it into the tubing and hold the tubing to thread it into the hole a few turns, pull off the tubing and then use the socket to tighten to spec. This works really well if you've got hot plugs to remove even when they aren't buried in a DOHC head. No scorched fingers!

@JMM (Michael) all the high tech stuff but the good old fuel line trick still does the job LOL
