By definition, this kind of action cannot "hurt the engine". [Think about it a little, eh?] The engine is either on or off.
What it can do is cause additional wear inside the transmission, but only if you made a repeated habit of this [which is why I asked about the seriousness of this question in the first place]. Even this risk is minimal, because the electronics don't let you restart until you've put the transmission in neutral or Park, which is just neutral with the parking pawl engaged on the output shaft.

How does an automatic transmission manage the clutch with the brake? or is their a typical 'clutch' in an automatic transmission?

you can't pull the key out unless the gear is in park and the engine is off. your gf must have a quick hand.
Is she still your gf?
