You're absolutely right about not stopping in a driving lane but pulling off of the road. It did sound like this was in a residential neighborhood though, so stopping on the right side of the road prior to running into the joggers may have been reasonable.
And... it certainly should have been mentioned as an option. I know sometimes I get stuck in "Forward thinking," when stopping is the best move (or non-move ).
