Starting with the assumption that this is just a standard game with a SB & BB, no antes. Doesn't really matter, for the sake of this discussion, if there is a standard straddle allowed UTG. But let's leave out straddles from other positions to simplify this.
Question is:
You've decided to leave the game, doesn't matter the reason. Whether you're the type to declare, and/or start racking chips or just leave without notice... You have decided that this orbit will be your last.
At what position on the table do you play your last hand?
Personally, as long as I can, I will typically play until I am UTG, and sit out avoiding the blinds the following hands.
I ask because plenty of the players in the tri-state area here will stay on "to play their button" and I've never really gotten a good answer on this. If superstition, fine. If you want your last hand to be the one in which you have the best position, okay - but you just paid both blinds which grant you free preflop cards for a full orbit.
