With zsh, the cursor is positioned on the last character of the last command after an ESC-k. With ksh and bash, the cursor is positioned at the first character of the last command after an ESC-k.

By default, k is bound to up-line-or-history.
There are alternatives that differ in terms of the cursor position. For
example:
bindkey -a k history-beginning-search-backward
However that may break other things like moving the cursor in a
multi-line buffer so you may want to use a custom widget that does
something like:
if [[ $LBUFFER == *$'\n'* ]]; then
zle .up-line
else
zle .history-beginning-search-backward
fi
