With the P3, with the steps being so far aft, behind the flaps, by the time they have been lowered into position after parking, the #2 engine has almost stopped rotating because of the built-in prop brake.
This same prop brake also stops reverse rotation when the engine is shut down (loiter or emergency shutdown) in flight.
