Storing the blower in the deck of the chipper solves that issue. Provided you have a safe yard/parking set-up.

Are you referring to the infeed table/chute of the chipper?
If so, I do agree that it would be a suitable place for temporay storage, with that said I would also say it is a bad idea. Awhile back when we had are Vermeer 1400xl we used to store the trash can with all are saftey cones in the can in the chipper infeed table area and it worked fine. Until one day when we pulled up to a jobsite and one of our guys started up the chipper and chipped the can with all the cones in it, about 150+ dollars worth. I know this would have never happend if he did his job and checked the chipper before he started it but things do happen to the best of us. Now imagine that being a backpack blower going through, not a good idea.
