Leave in gear for reason cited above. If you don't want to wear out your stop light bulbs, put the emergency brake on to hold the car from creeping, but leave in drive.

There are bushings in the gear selector linkage that eventually will wear out from movement of selector in addition to rough environment. Putting it in park will speed you to that point faster.
