I take it you've never had a car with an auto gearbox.

I can settle this.
If you're a Yank who can't drive a normal car, never leave your car in gear. If, like the rest of the world, you are not baffled by simple controls, leave your car in gear.

I used to think like this.
Until I did get a car with an automatic. For your dreary, basic, day to day driving, it's fucking fantastic, though I also have a tiny Spitfire on the side for a bit of manual fun :)

To be honest,
I live in Florida and drive an automatic, but I just can't resist the chance to take the piss out of the natives of my new home country.

fact is.... the car was not in gear.
I also drive an automatic (Outlander PHEV) and a manual (TVR Chimaera)

It's on a level floor.
The car shouldn't roll off on its own. I'm not familiar with the slushboxes on old Mustangs, but if it has an electric gear selector, anything could happen.

If I lived in a part of the world where I could stay in one gear for more than two or three minutes, I'd love a manual. Also, automatics have a fun 'go-karty' appeal as well. Well, they do if you drive a knackered 20yr old thing like mine.
