On my Civic with the remote start engaged, I have to park in neutral if I want to remote start it when I get back to my car. I will park in neutral only if on a flat surface. Otherwise its always in first gear when parked. E-brake always engaged when parked, no matter what.

If I'm facing down hill, I turn my wheels so it's hitting the kerb and put it in reverse gear with handbrake on.
If I'm facing up hill, I turn my wheels the other way so back of the wheels hit the kerb and put it in first gear and handbrake on.
Level surface just usually hand brake.

$5600 later I learned to always put it in gear with the ebrake on. I failed to pull my ebrake up all of the way one time and left it in neutral and my car went down a slight hill and smacked a large metal gate. The worst part is, I got to watch it happen. (thank goodness for insurance!)
btw, that was my current car, I have not recieved my Fit yet
