Absolutely
And to be just a bit more precise, SHIFT+P will trigger the "pushback" function. On some major airports, you will even see a little truck come to push your aircraft.

Additionnally, if you press SHIFT+P, and shortly after, the '1' or '2' key, then the plane will turn left or right (NOT immediately, some seconds later. Just press those keys and wait)

This is reverse thrust.. You really don't want to do this because it will waste a lot of gas.. Shift + P is the pushback function, go with that.

Not only that, but SHIFT + P will work with any aircraft, where as F2 won't...

Some aircraft in the real world (DC-9's) use reverse thrust for the push back...It is known as a power back...Needless to say, it's quite uneconomical and quite noisy

If I ever got on a modern plane and it used reverse thrust for pushback, I'd be a little worried
