I use it when the vehicle is jacked up and i want to turn a wheel and realise its still in P, no need to even put the ignition on, just press the button and shift the lever.
Also some times when i've washed the vehicle on the sloping part of my drive and want to let it roll back onto the level, again just press the button and shift the lever and let it roll.

Also useful if you blow the brake light fuse which hooks into the gear select circuit to tell the lever when your foot is on the brake. You blow that fuse, by, for example hooking up your neighbours trailer with dodgy electrics, and then you can't get out of park without that little button.
