You try that method
Put it in your jacket pocket once you get to work.. wander around a bit at lunch time, put things in the pocket and then take them out again.
Then try and get your headphones out when you get on the tube on the way home... all that method does is GUARANTEE that they'll be tied in a knot.
Don't get me wrong - it's great for organising cables that'll sit at home in a cupboard, but you put that in your pocket and you're screwed.
Edit: I've discovered the best thing for headphones in your pocket is just to 'scrunch' them up - don't try twisted or twirling them, that just knots them. You still get the occasional knot - but much less frequently.

Until recently I reckon I spend five minutes a day untangling headphone cables.
That's over half an hour per week. Although recently I've been winding them into a ring, clipping with a bulldog clip and putting them in a baggie. No more tangles. However it makes me look more anal than an actual anus.
