Leviton 4937 Weatherproof Inlet on Flush Mount Wallplate with Aluminum Cover, Straight Blade Receptacle, Gray - Amazon.com is the one that I bought when I had to replace the one in my car after I used to light weight of a cord (16 gauge) extension cord and had the cord end melt, fusing it in to the receptical.
You can also get some really nice, heavy duty covers like this:
For about $40, or you can get light duty recepticals that have a plastic cover that is not spring loaded... personally I like the spring loaded cover, it always snaps closed and stays sealed!
You can also get inlets that are used on fire trucks, they kick the cord out when you start the vehicle and tend to cost $200 or more, personally I'd opt for a bright red LED that lights up on the dash when the car is plugged in to remind you not to drive away with it plugged in, or my electric car cuts power to the key switch when it's plugged in so nothing happens.
