It could be to do with the fact that the manufacture and sale of Saint Joseph plastic statues is now a highly lucrative industry, and a great deal of money is made by those selling the statuettes together with instructions about where and what way up to bury them in order to sell your house.
Given the nature of saints, I'd imagine Saint Joseph (who might have difficulty working out what a piece of plastic had to do with him) would be just as helpful, or even more so, with a well-thought-out prayer and maybe a candle lit for him. Repeating the process in church couldn't do any harm at all.
