The flight crew is concerned when they get an aircraft that has sat for a few days the switches are out of place.  Examples: hyd flight control switches; alternate flap switch; etc.I joined a call for flight Operations and discussed this matter; I requested they send me the reports; so we can address with other reports; also asked if they can get pictures or an accurate description on which switch was out of order.Safety is aware they have a pre-flight checklist; but they wanted to make sure maintenance operations [are] aware.This is a hazard report to start a possible trend.
