I much, much prefer the car stay in second until coming to a complete stop. It's exactly how I'd drive a manual car, only using first to start out from a complete stop. 2nd is much smoother in traffic, and I think that's the reason the tranny stays in 2nd unless coming to a complete stop.
If you want to take off in first, a quick downshift to first will put you were you want to be, but for me the vast majority of situations 2nd is where I want to be.
This shift mode selector button is understated appropriately, IMHO.
