Since I know what the officer is going to ask for, usually get my wallet and paper work out before he even exist his vehicle, then wait for him with my hands on the wheel.

I think that’s risky. Once the cop puts the lights on you, he’s watching every move you make. Reaching for anything before he approaches and gives you permission to do so, is only upping the stress and tension level for the officer.
Stopping your car and keeping your hands where the officer can see them, lowers his stress level greatly, which is what anyone should want to do in that situation. Doing otherwise can get you killed.
