There is no existing macro that would help you display by default a panel as
being collapsed. The 'collapse' status is stored as a cookie.
See the comments of this issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-325
(you can vote for the issue).

The logic is very simple:

1) Panels can be set at wiki (Wiki Administration -> Presentation section)
and at space level (Space Administration -> Presentation section)
2) You can choose to display or not the left panels column (by choosing
'YES' or 'NOT' for 'SHOW LEFT PANELS' property) and/or right panels column
(by choosing 'YES' or 'NOT' for 'SHOW RIGHT PANELS' property) for the _whole
wiki_ OR for _certain spaces_
3) You can choose what panels to display by filling the 'LEFT PANELS' and/or
'RIGHT PANELS' properties inside the presentation section at wiki and/or
space level
4) Space level settings (display YES or NO and what panels to be displayed)
override wiki level settings - so if you choose at wiki level to display
left panels, and on space A you choose not to display left panels, then you
will see left panels on the whole wiki besides space A
6) You can use the Panel Wizzard in order to arrange the panels layout
instead of setting the preferences inside the Presentation section.

Yes, each space can have its own panels, see the above explanations.
