I usually leave manuals in a gear but sometimes don't on the flat such as in a carpark. When I was 18, my car rolled down the hill on my street during the night and luckily it didn't hit anything or anyone and nobody noticed. It was quite some distance about 8-9 detatched houses away and stopped because the tyres had gently rubbed along the kerb. After that, I always leave in gear.
Some manuals will not allow it to crank without pressing the clutch and display a message similar to how our say press the brake.
