I have noticed that all my pairs of everyday socks lose their elasticity fairly quick and I'm finding myself constantly throwing pairs out due them not staying up against my ankle (or leg for my black dressy ones) which causes them to bunch up in my shoe when walking and its uncomfortable. Is there any maintenance I can do or specific way to store them in my drawer that helps prolong the life of the elastics in the top part of the sock?

Buy socks with Lycra in them, and that are made from long cotton. Those socks are of course more expensive to buy however in the long term much cheaper.
I recommend socks from MP made in Denmark.
The have a huge selection for children & adults in the US you can buy MP socks at Kids Fashion Brokers! http://www.kidsfashionbrokers.com/mpsolcolsocc.html
don’t ball them inside out of each other.just roll them together and the elasticity will stay tight and fitted but after a while they will not be so tight cuz of wear and tear
buy more expensive and thicker socks.
buy better socks. mine wear out before they do what you described.

I used to wear garters. they sell them at better mens clothing stores and at uniform shops. I hated having my SHIRT come untucked, but they’ll work for you too.
you put your shirt and socks on. the garter clips to the tail of the shirt, front and back, left and right side (there are 4 garters). they also clip to the top of your socks to pull your shirt down, and keep your socks up!!
they’re about $6 a set.
