[Star Wars] Can ships stay still in hyperspace?

From my understanding, hyperspace is an alternate dimension where distances are shorter. Does this mean that a ship could make the jump and then just stay in the same place?

While unusual, it might be possible:

In the attack on Starkiller Base in The Force Awakens, the X-Wings were able to drop out of hyperspace right above the planet a few seconds after hearing that the shield was down. 

It appears from this scene that they were sitting still in hyperspace near their destination and waited until the right time to return to normal space. There could be another explanation like they were going in circles in hyperspace, or maybe doing multiple short jumps back and forth, but there is nothing to confirm this.

All other canon depictions of hyperspace treat it like 'lightspeed', ie. you are travelling fast by definition and would drop out of hyperspace as soon as you slowed down.
