[Python] Position of colorbar position with "extend" parameter

I am trying to do a plot with the extend='max' option of contourf. However the the colorbar is forced to the right-side bottom of the plot with this oprion. The colorbar is centered (as it should be) when the extend option is not used.

Plot with extend='max' option:



Plot with no extend option:



Relevant code snippet:

contour = ax.contourf(x, y, val, cmap='gist_yarg', extend='max',
levels=np.linspace(0, 0.1, 200))

cbar = plt.colorbar(contour, fraction=0.05, pad=0.03, format='%.2f')
