Compressors of this size do not take well to extension cords. Plug it into a 20amp outlet directly. BTW: 5hp is better run on 240volt.

If I had the electrician guy come out, and pull 220 over to my barn, can you plug a normal 110 device, into a 220 outlet?
It's worth your while to pay an electrician the hundred bucks or so for a service call and let you know what's really needed. He'll check everything out and let you know your options. I'd feel pretty bad if I allowed my shop to burn down just because I was guessing about electrical requirements.
You can, however, drop a leg out of of the 240v and run your 120v items at the box.
