In what cases, does Padded Alignment apply?

Hi. I'am so curious about Padded Alignment. In situation like this,

REF:      CACGATCA**GACCGATACGTCCGA
READ1:      CGATCAGAGACCGATA
READ2:        ATCA*AGACCGATAC
READ3:       GATCA**GACCG

The padded CIGAR are different:

READ1: 6M2I8M
READ2: 4M1P1I9M
READ3: 5M2P5M

In what cases, READ2 is not to just 4M1I9M but to 4M1P1I9M ? Thanks.
