These same pilots will (hopefully :-) have been in control of the plane for a good while leading up to this point. In FG, we're suddenly dumped there, with the plane running and, in many cases, simply out of control, veering off in some unpredictable direction. I'm not claiming having the parking brake set at this point is the height of realism, just that it's slightly less bad than the alternative. I've still not heard a convincing reason why FG starting up with out of control runaway aircraft is a good idea...
