Of the several thousand miles I put on my automatic Civic before selling it, I probably traveled hundreds of miles in neutral with the engine on. Transmission shifts just as perfect as it did the day I bought it. As long as the engine is on you'll be fine. Heck, I even turned off the engine and coasted the last 20 or so feet, and was fine. Longer distance EOC in an automatic is what ruins the transmission, as well as neglecting to regularly change the transmission fluid on schedule.
