Not a bad idea, and something for me to consider for the second oil change. I actually briefly thought about it after I saw the flow that ensued once I removed the plug, but question whether it would be worth the trouble and if the resulting splashing would make much less of a mess.
I guess, using your advice, the best way to do it would be to fold a piece of cardboard and wedge it into the opening in the under body panel creating something like an up-side-down angled trough.
I don't know if my oil had more back pressure than most due to it being at full temperature and the car being on ramps, but it literally shot straight out for at least the first quart.
