If you're outside the Bravo when you cancel, I doubt that you are cleared automatically. If you are in the Bravo airspace when ATC accepted your cancellation, it would be hard for ATC to claim that you were required to disappear into non-Bravo airspace within a second (although with the FAA you never know).
But that said, there's no guarantee that even if you are ok when you cancel, ATC won't immediately tell you to get out. If you really want to stay within the Bravo and for some reason you really want to cancel IFR, your best bet is to ask in advance.
If not, how should I phrase my request to cancel IFR, contingent on having a VFR Class Bravo clearance?
"If I cancel IFR, can you give me a Bravo clearance to...?" (not every request has standard phraseology)
