If I read the manual correctly, the Create Simulation will "pre-drape" the cloth over the collision objects. "Calculate Drape: Clicking the Calculate Drape button calculates the cloth object's draping behavior and caches the simulation. When calculating the simulation, cached drape settlings are added before beginning cloth simulations, meaning that the settled cloth drape is at frame 1 before the simulation begins." What I get from this is that before any dynamics are added for animation effects (collision, motion, wind), the cloth is draped over objects that are set for collision with the drape. So you should be able to get a 'still image' of the draped cloth even without adding animation dynamics. Beyond that I can only guess since I'm not up to the point of playing with the cloth room.
