Default Is there a correct way to "park" a machine?

Those of you old enough to remember when personal computers were first coming out may remember than when you were shutting one down, especially if you were going to move it, you had to "park" the hard drive.

Perhaps not uniquely, I have more machines than I would ever use (meaning more than 1), and I was wondering if there's a recommended way to "park" the machine when it's going to be sitting for a while. Presser foot up? down? tension loosened all the way? Cloth under the presser foot? Extra oil in particular spots? Etc.

I am envisioning rotating through a bunch of machines just to redo all the clean up work to make them move again and wondering if there's a way to lessen some of that.
