The picture you are referring to was taken when he was about to leave office. I do not know the reason for it, but it was not a habit. I would guess that is was the photographer's idea. Maybe he thought the pose looked statesmanlike a la Napoleon. In Napoleon's day or before, the hand in jacket pose was a classical pose, rather like having a hand on one's pocket for a relaxed look. The right hand is actually tucked into his vest, not his shirt.
