  I don't think you can. Try using the Lift and Extract functions instead of cutting using the playhead position.
  
  Set the In and Out points using `I` and `O`
  
  "Lift" the section you want to remove using `;` if you want to "lift" it (copy it, leaving a gap in the timeline)
  
  Or use `'` if want to "extract" (copy it and ripple the rest of the timeline.
  
  You playhead position will be unaffected.
