How did my speedometer needle get under the resting pin?

Driving today I looked down to see the needle of my speedometer underneath the pin it rests on when the car is not on. Obviously it can’t register my speed because the pin is stopping it. When the car is off the needle drops to the six o’clock position on the dial. How did it get there? Was my 19 year-old headed toward warp speed only to stop dead and fool the needle into continuing around to land on the wrong side of the pin!? Is there a way to fix it without taking it to the shop?
