Never had a bike fall over when using the center stand, even when parked facing uphill. I have had the center stand sink into asphalt, thus bringing the rear tire to touch ground, but it never fell. I never had a bike fall using a side stand, however, almost because the stand disappeared into the asphalt.
(yes, I was surprised too)
As Kai Ju indicated in an explicit example, examine your environment and make a common sense judgement. If it doesn't feel right, be conservative and sometimes that means just using the side stand - and gearbox engaged to be extra anal.
