Michael Collinswas the Command Module Pilot (CMP). He stayed in orbit while the CDR and LMP went down to the lunar surface. He conducted experiments and took care of the spacecraft that would return the crew back to Earth.

As he was the Comand module pilot only, his job was to orbit the moon and wait for them to dock later.

They left Micheal Collins in the Lunar Module because he was the Apollo 13's mission pilot. He had to control the lunar module. Sad is it?
