You stretch your ankle muscles by bending and flexing your foot from the ankle.
Try drinking two large glasses of lightly salted water in the course of the day. Unless of course you have medical problems that make it unwise for you to consume extra salt.
Muscle cramps can be caused by dehydration or by lack of salt, so drinking salted water should help.
Any gentle exercise you can take in the course of the day, such as walking instead of going by car to the nearest shops will tend to strengthen your leg muscles which may make cramp less of a problem.
