The parachute can be opened via the part menu or by pressing the P key. When the parachute is deployed, you can control it using the W (Pitch down), A (Yaw left), S (Pitch up), D (Yaw right) keys. The chute somewhat acts like a hanglider, gliding down, picking up speed unless you use W to slow down during flight.
