Another good reason for leaving it in gear, wheels turned towards the pavement:
I once left my car parked in front of a tattoo'd funwit's house, and that bit of the public highway, with unrestricted parking, actually belonged to him of course (silly me).
Regrettably, I had left the wheels pointing out into the road, and only held by the handbrake. Mr T Funwit proceeded to push my car out into the road (using his car I believe), then called the police to say my car was causing an obstruction - as a result of which it was towed to the local pound.
Leaving it in gear, and/or turning the wheels the right way, would have saved me several hundred pounds.
