There's no "park" with a stickshift. The car was in gear, probably 1st, which it where it should be with the engine off, along with the parking brake engaged.
Always make sure the parking brake is set and push in the clutch pedal when starting a car with a manual.

Cold start assist is some special crap mazda cooked up. IIRC it puts coolant into the gas mix to increase compression when the car is cold. Personally I don't believe it works. Totally different from the OPM (oil metering pump) but just as useless.

Also, where are you at in MN? If you wanted someone to stop by and check out the car there are a couple of guys in and around the twin cities that might take a look at it and check for some basic issues or give a few tips on keeping a rotary.
