Do a Google Search for "Pocket Snorkle"
You'll find stuff like this.

Thanks. I like this one. I searched for Compact snorkel and telescopic snorkel, and only a few things came up.
Here's more talk about foldable/stowable snorkels: Diver's snorkel.
Here's a review from Scuba Diving magazine: 2 Stowable Snorkels

Another alternative is to get two small snorkels, then join the tubes together using the chopped off mouthpiece of one.
For those Florida Keys boats that insist upon a snorkel, I have a combo of a kid's snorkel with bottom purge valve, and the straight tube section cut off a 2nd snorkel. Short and flexible, the combo fits easily in a BCD pocket. When joined together, the total tube length is a bit longer than a normal snorkel.

You could try this:

Also I've seen this one which looks very nice and practical. Simpler clip system than the Scubapro.

Hope this is of some help!

I got an AquaLung Snap Folding Snorkel a couple months ago. No diving with it yet, but I've tried it in the pool.
It rolls up very compactly into the little "shell," which has a cord to attach to a BC pocket.
Seems pretty bullet-proof; basically two pieces of rubbery soft polymer. Oh, and pretty inexpensive.
Down side: Not the easiest to clear. No purge valve, and the shrouded top seems to make it a bit harder to blow out.
But I think it'll work.
