In the days when in the UK we had to have a parking light left on, you left the indicator set to one side and that light came on when the ignition was off.  You had to park facing the right way, so it was the driver's side light that was on.
It meant the drain was only 4Watts.

Dave,
UK VW Type 3 and 4 Club.

The "P" terminal is used in Germany and other countries to power up the "parking" lights.
In Germany, their cars have a side marker light, that turns on (in the "P" position) to warn 
others that the car is "parked". This is more commonly seen on early type 3s, as the light 
on or above the body side line or trim line.

 I noticed the Ignition switch I had sitting here for decades made in Germany also has a P terminal , I didn’t check what it does  and it is not used.
