You need to select the surface to start the thread from first (end of the cylinder).

 

Also, it has defaulted to a tapered pipe thread which has a standard length.

No difference. It is just the reference for depth value

If you are trying to create a standard straight thread on a drafted cylinder, you need to create the cosmetic thread then draft the cylinder.  Otherwise Creo defaults to a tapered pipe thread.
