Flaps are normally retracted when the captain stows the speedbrake after landing. This should be done as you turn off the runway, but sometimes this is done just as soon as you put power on to start taxiing, so maybe just a little earlier.
The after landing checks come later.
Mind you, if you skid off, or drive yourself off onto the grass, you'd not be thinking at that moment, oh let's retract the flaps would you? You'd be busy thinking "I may have just lost my job"!!!
