This has been extensively (and a bit harshly) didcussed in a previous thread.
In summary, when you set your parking brakes at arrival gate FsP checks where is the closest airport CENTRAL POINT. So, although you
landed on the right runway, if your arrival gate is near the edge of a big airport, you can be closer to the center of a smaller neigbour small
airport than to the center of the large airport you are actually paked at..
On the image below, you willsee how easy it is to park closer to LHD center than PANC center while beeing however on PANC

Fortunately the default MS GPS works exactly like FsP. Then prior to choose a gate to unboard, you can check on the GPS if FsP will see
you at the right airport:
Here I am on northern edge of PANC but GPS and FsP "see" me at Z41 => I won't unboard there !!!

Here, still at PANC but close to the center, GPS and FsP indeed see me then at PANC => safe place to unboard

Morality: Make some concession over realism, open the GPS and choose wisely your gate
