Errrr, no!!!
Not unless you want to track the local oscilator on the standby circuit but then you'd have to be within about 2 meters to get any form of signal...
It's actually an urban myth that you can track a mobile phone that has been turned off, You can get specialised phones that appear to turn off (handy to give to your child who then thinks that by turning it off they're not being tracked by thier parents) but they don't actually turn off unless a code is inputted.
