Narrative:
There was a plane on final approach behind me after I landed. I was trying to exit the runway as quickly as possible so they could land. I reached down to FLIP the switch on my flaps to make my brakes more effective and my landing gear came up. I felt rushed to get off the runway and didn't check what switch I flipped.
