Leaving my car in gear is habit from years of cars with poor or failing hand brakes. Starting the car and putting it in neutral is natural.
First gear works so well that when my 300 ZX parked in first gear handbrake engaged, got hit by drunk driver at speed (60 MPH), my poor car left 30 solid feet of rubber, tracing its last movements on the street until the curb.
