Yes, your parents may be able to stay and apply for their green cards inside the US when you file for them. But this will depend on a number of factors including how and when and with what type of visa they initially came to the US.

If they last entered with a visa and have not been working, they can apply for adjustment of status at the same time you file the I-130 petition. If they entered without inspection they will need to apply for an immigrant visa in their home country after the I-130 is approved. In that case, they should consult an immigration attorney because they may be subject to re-entry bars.
