I believe that that is what hangars are for.

Many aircraft will wait at the gate, because they will often be due out early in the morning. If an aircraft is not going to go out for about six working hours (hours in which the airport is closed), it will be towed to an off-pier parking area, which most airports have, then towed back for its next flight.

They all turn into pumpkins, which are then stored in cupboard until needed again....;-D..

There are three basic places to store aircraft when they are not in use. 1) Parked at the gate - this is the most common method if the plane is only being left for one night. Chances are, it will arrive late in the evening and leave early in the morning. 2) Parked in a hangar - some aircraft have the benefit of inside storage. Most often, this is the case with cargo planes which are usually unloaded and loaded during their resting time. Some commercial aircraft may also be moved to hangars for night time maintenance. 3) Parked in a storage lot - slightly different than docked at the gate, these are essentially large parking lots for aircraft. Many major airports have them. Unless the gate the aircraft was parked at is really needed, there isn't much of a reason to move the aircraft to a parking lot if it is to be moved back the next morning. These tend to be used for longer storage, especially because it requires more effort to move the aircraft.
