I haven't tried, but they would seem to be mutually exclusive. The
'-p' option specifies behavior like,
These are the only inconsistencies that fsck with the -p option will cor-
rect; if it encounters other inconsistencies, it exits with an abnormal
return status and an automatic reboot will then fail.

Two ways I can think of,
(1) Unmount your filesystems cleanly at shutdown.
(2) Don't fsck at all and don't try to mount filesystems that could
be unclean.
The boot process drops into single user mode because a corrupted
filesystem is a Very Bad Thing. If you are booting a system with
corrupt filesystems, the drop into single user should be the least of
your worries.
