Your SIP device does not support attended transfers? That really sucks. T and t are cool hacks for devices that do not support transfers. If your devices support their own transfer feature (odd enough usually labeled "Transfer") then there is NO REASON to use T/t transfers. If your SIP devices do not support their own transfer option then either you didn't do enough research before you installed Asterisk or you were just too cheap when buying phones.
Do you really need to park outbound external calls?
I was cheap when I bought the phones :)
The problem is it's not just on outbound calls, I have an intercom system that can open the door. I get an incoming call on my * box, I answer the call and if I feel like opening the door I have to dial #61 to release the door. Now people at the door just hear music on hold when I try that, kinda silly to play music on hold on an intercom (although I'm probably a trendsetter there, even a major company doesn't have MOH at the door!) :)
