Mechjeb does not deploy parachute

Despite including a parachute option, I've found that the MJ landing autopilot isn't really designed to work in an atmosphere.

Exactly.   The best way to use it for "accurate" atmospheric landings, I have found, is to use the Trajectories Mod.  Burn till the projected landing site is on your target, and then re-enter as needed.  IF the vessel is still going too fast to land safely, use the MJ "land somewhere" feature to fire the retrorockets to soften the landing.
