Smooth folded cylinder with tikz
How can I draw the following folded cylinder with tikz?
The main problem is the curved lines. What I have done so far is this:
begin{tikzpicture}
%draw [help lines] grid (5,5);
%draw (0,.8) rectangle (5,4.4);
draw (1,.3) arc (210:180:4cm and .5cm);
draw[densely dashed] (.47,.54) arc (180:150:4cm and .5cm);
draw (1,.3)--(1,3.9) arc (210:150:4cm and .5cm);
draw (.47,.5)--(.47,4.2);
draw (1,.8)--(4,.8);
draw (1,4.4)--(4,4.4);
end{tikzpicture}
I have also another request. Is it better to write tikz codes directly in tex file or convert it to ps or pdf then import it?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you want a cartoon, maybe something along these lines may do? When patching together different paths it is usually advantageous to make sure that the slope does not jump.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[densely dashed] (-1,2) coordinate (TL) -| ++(-1,-4) -- ++(1,0)
coordinate (HL);
draw (TL) arc(90:270:0.5 and 0.3) -- ++ (0,-4)
arc(270:180:0.5 and 0.3) coordinate (BL)-- ++ (0,4);
draw[densely dashed] (BL) arc (180:90:0.5 and 0.3);
draw[densely dashed] (1,2) coordinate (TR) -| ++(1,-4) -- ++(-1,0)
coordinate (HR);
draw (TR) arc(90:-90:0.5 and 0.3) -- ++ (0,-4)
arc(-90:0:0.5 and 0.3) coordinate (BR)-- ++ (0,4);
draw[densely dashed] (BR) arc (0:90:0.5 and 0.3);
