Out of gear. No need to hold pressure on the throwout bearing if you're going to be there for a bit.
And I tend to let off the brakes too if the car isn't going to roll...
The problem with this is the people around you have been trained since birth on an automatic transmission and assume no brake lights means they need to accelerate. So the view out of the mirror can get a bit tense on occasion.
