I'm actually doing some stretching exercises apart from the clarinet, too.
From your description I'm not sure exactly what your exercise is, but some kind of systematic work using those four pinky keys might be helpful. I tend, though, not to be so systematic in my practice routines. (That's a personal idiosyncrasy and not an attitude I'd recommend to anyone else.)
