Parking with flaps extended

Hello folks, a little question out of curiosity.

On Saturday I happened to notice several Citations parked on the Business Aviation apron at EDI, and one thing I spotted was that they were all parked with flaps extended. Also, I happened to be browsing through some Piper Tomahawk pictures on an aviation site when I noticed that several were parked again with their flaps extended.

This intrigued me, since at my club we always park with flaps up, and this also seems to be the norm on all Boeings and Scarebuses too.

Any particular reason why some aircraft are parked with flap down?
