What does "creaking" indicate when I change from D to P to R, etc.

Me and the 31 others who have viewed this post so far must all be thinking the same - what do you mean by "creaking".
When moving from D to P or from P to R, you'll have the footbrake applied?
Is it thumping into gear / creaking from slight movement of the pads against the discs as the vehicle moves slightly forwards or backwards / movement of the engine or transmission units from failed mounts...........?

I creak when I'm having a 'P'!!!........
Seriously...... My 2000 XK8 'creaks' when I put the car into D or R.
It feels as if the car wants to move (my foot is on the brake) and the 'creak' seems to come from under the car somewhere, not the engine area.
It's done it ever since I got the car over a year ago.
The creak isn't particularly loud, and I just ignore it.
It's part of my cars character!
Maybe a few people here will throw their arms up in horror, and tell me it's a genuine fault, but it hasn't ever seemed to make any difference.

creaking isn't that hard to imagine, uh say pirate ship on the ocean? The car slightly lurches, I'll have to get some visual confirmation of forward or backward for the scientists here.
uh DUH, who shifts while moving into park or DRIVE or REVERSE, etc. of course it's stopped and my foot is on the brake.
Thanks to Roy for useful feedback I won't worry about it then.
