I wonder whether, in road law language, stationary means more than just stopped - see making a call with a hand held phone for example.
The mischief the law addresses is presumably the old 'taxi's blowing his horn' thing.
All sorts of reasons you might use the horn while stopped. The vehicle sliding back thing is but one, another would be a pedestrian about to put themself at risk - waling in front of you and into moving traffic.
