The reason is because planets move too fast in relative comparison to other stars to be set in one constellation. After all, planet is Greek for "wandering star", meaning that it literally wanders amongst the constellations

Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper. But in the real sky, the planets will not stay in any constellation for a long time. They move around.To track the current position of a planet, nowadays you can use some software, for example, "Redshift".Of course you can draw a planet in a constellation, and it will stay there - on the paper.
