Because they are storing energy. Imagine a spring. It cannot "spring" very far unless compressed, because when it is compressed the amount of potential energy the spring contains is greatly increased.

The more they coil, the faster and farther they can strike at prey or predator. This asked WHAT snakes coil ... not WHY do snakes coil ... this does not answer the question.
