I am looking for some easy way to hang my dock lines on the boat while I go out
sailing. I saw some clips at West and Coleman that can hang from a pulpit or
lifeline,
but they kind of squish the line making it hard to pick up quickly and toss on
the dock.

Coil it properly. See video
http://www.videos.sailingcourse.com/coiling_wmv1.htm. Then use a Rolling
Hitch (similar to a rolling hitch) around the life
line!http://www.videos.sailingcourse.com/taut_wmv1.htm

Coil the line. Then hold the coiled line in front of the lifeline with
the top of the coil above the lifeline. Reach through the top of the
coil, behind the lifeline, and pull the bottom of the coil through the
space between the top of the coil and the lifeline.

I coil my mainsheet when docked, as well as any lines to stern rail--- coil
and then just use clove hitch
to hang the coil- works well for me.
