The camera bag or lens pouch may appear too small for the lens with hood in shooting position. I normally store the hoods on my lenses, so when I take the camera or lens from the closet, the hood is always there, attached in reverse position.

Then take the 5 seconds to put the lens hood on so it functions as a hood! Doh! 🤔🙄🤦‍♂️

I never leave the lens hood at home since my '2011 Iceland trip, when I had lots of images ruined with water drops on filter. For that trip, I left the hood at home, because on old EF 24-70/2.8L it was really enormous in size.
