I just do a roll-up from the free end back to the Beetle, and then slip it flat-wise into the taut loop of the Amsteel CL on the end of my hammocks... the tension of the loop holds it fine. Helps as a drip as well.

I have the same length straps, and I use this method for the tag end:

Make a loop, pull a bit of the strap through the loop, which makes a new loop, pull a bit through that loop, rinse and repeat.
Thanks everybody (in my best Dutch voice). Certainly was not a mission critical problem but I noticed that I kept taking notice and decided to try to nip that OCD venture in the bud. This seemed like a good place to ask. When a loose strap is gnawing at you, it probably isn’t going to be about just a soluttion (since there really isn’t a problem), probably more about finding cosmic satisfaction with your setup.
Mine hang on the ground. The white UHMWPE does not pick up much dirt.

Take the tag end back to the tree and stick it through the strap going around the tree.

I just do a slippery half hitch somewhere on the strap in order to tidy up all the loose stuff. I seem to tie about 6 slippery half hitches in various places everytime I setup my hammock!
I use a pair of snakeskins, so when the fly is set up I stick my excess hammock strap inside the bunched up snakeskin at each end.
