No. The clutch splines slip over the transmission input shaft. When in a gear and car stopped the transmission output and input shaft are not turning, and therefore the clutch plate is not turning. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel and it is turning, but the clutch is not. Otherwise the clutch would not work and the car could never be stopped when in gear.
