Well, he could.  And probably does (or maybe neutral).  But he'd like to be in 1st so as to be ready to start moving again after stopping.  
 
That said, I sorta agree with Beelzy—this maneuver is often not  easy in a lot of manuals.  My experience as well.
THAT said, I am able to get mine ('01 S) into 1st when I've decelerated to a few mph.  I do blip the throttle a bit in the process, to rev match.
