Apparently, it is still classed as being in charge of a motor vehicle.

There was a case made the papers and look North TV (in the Newcastle area) some six month or so ago where a woman had pulled on to the hard shoulder/pavement and was fined because the keys were still in the ignition.

is there not special rules for being on the hard shoulder,

 

when NOT to use the hard shoulder

• Checking a map or your phone
• Having a rest
• Going for a wee
• Any other non-emergency

Stopping illegally on the hard shoulder could see you get a minimum £100 fine and 3 driving licence penalty points. Check what The Highway Code says about breakdowns and emergencies on the motorway.

On the AA website it says if keys are in the ignition even if vehicle is stationery. It also states even if using a handsfree set you can still be prosecuted if it is believed you are not in full control of the vehicle
