Narrative:

I was in cruise flight at night at FL290 with a qualified copilot in the right seat. While getting out of my seat, my foot hit the go around button on the power lever. The aircraft pitched up about 400 ft before the copilot could catch it. Center did notice the deviation. I think all PC12 pilots should be aware of this situation due to the location of the power lever.
