Simple question

Hope you fellas will bear with me as I'm not an aviator - purely an aviation enthusiast. I've often wondered why in a (commercial) fixed wing a/c the PIC always has the LH seat whereas in a helo the opposite is true. Is there any particular reason? Is it historical? Traditional? Any ideas?
