I think I saw somewhere how to put the car in ACC mode without shutting everything down. Not sure where I've seen it or if I just dreamt it up though, but here's what I can recall.
After you've stopped the car, DO NOT shift to park. Just power off - supposedly this puts you in ACC mode. Then you can shift to park. I haven't tried this myself so I dont know if it works or not.
On another note, you could also transfer the audio to your phone, power down, then go to ACC mode, then transfer the audio back to the TCH's bluetooth system.
I've left the car on run "Ready" mode plenty of times. When I go to pick my wife up from her work, sometimes I arrive 5-10 minutes early, so I just put it in park, but not turn it off. I turn off my headlights by putting the headlight selector switch to "DRL-off" and turn everything off that I'm not using. That way the engine wont fire up when the car is started. I simply just put it in reverse, get out of the parking lot and go.

The only time I actually sit in the car yaking on the phone is if I am involved in a conference call or other call when enroute and the call persists after I've arrived at my destination. I just sit there with the car in Park and the Run mode engaged.
