The only way is to move the conduit or put more in running it to the new location. Problem is it doesn't look like you'll have enough wire. I'll let an electrician chime in but I believe your best bet would be to turn the existing box into a junction box (put a blank faceplate on it, it has to be accessible). Knock out the holes on the side, run wire to a new box. Again, there's probably a better solution but that's my inclination.

I’m installing built in bookcases and the outlet is right in line with the frame. I really only need to move it a few inches so I actually think I DO have enough wire to do what you suggested. But apparently I can just flip the box around and re-install it in the closet. If that doesn’t work I’ll pick up some sort of conduit extension and try your idea, thank you!
