I can't tell what the criteria are to keep it running.

Try putting it in Sport mode first. If your car is in comfort or eco-pro and you put it in Park and open the door, it will likely shut off (probably using the same parameters it would use if you came to a stop while it was running). I don't think there's any way around this. You might also try tapping the shift left over to the left to use the sport program. But I can't remember if that resets itself on shutdown or when you shift to Park.
