Carriers in WW II were straight deck carriers and used a system of barrier cables to separate the landing section of the deck (aft section) from the parking area (forward section). The cables would be raised to block the deck, a plane would land, the cables lowered, the plane would taxi over the cables and be parked. If a plane missed the arresting wires, the cables would stop the plane (hopefully) from plowing into the parked aircraft. This feature was not implemented into the Il2 sim, so leaving AI planes parked on the forward section is asking for trouble.

In my online experiences, human controlled aircraft can be taxied and parked along the side of the deck. With chocks placed, other planes can safely pass through the parked player aircraft. The downside to this is that if someone crashes near a parked player aircraft, the blast is likely to destroy the parked aircraft, regardless of chocks.
