Why is the prayer on leaving the Sukkah unique?

Many have a custom to recite a short prayer upon leaving the sukkah - the yehi ratzon found in many machzorim/soddurim. Why don’t other mitzvot have a similar phenomenon? Why don’t we find similar prayers by shofar or matzah etc?

What to do on Sukuot if there is no sukkah?

Sometimes it happens that it is not possible to either build a sukkah or find one due to the absence of a nearby synagogue. What is the way out of this situation?
