Overnight I always park mine with the handbrake off and in gear. I put it into 1st or reverse depending on which direction will be clear when I next start the car.

Plus I'm brainwashed anyway into always checking any vehicle is in neutral before turning the key.

Note no reply to the reasoning behind using 2nd. Is there really any reason not to use 1st? Does anyone know?
