When parking on an incline, keep your foot firmly on the brake and pull the parking brake tight.
and then release your foot from the brake pedal, and shift into park last.
Hold foot brake down then I shift into park first, set parking brake hard, THEN release brake pedal.
I use to live in San Francisco and parked a lot on the hills.
Also, make sure you turn your wheel to the far left and let off the brake a little to allow the tire to just touch the curb.
That could also work. The reason I gave the order that I did is because it might take some movement before the parking brake "catches" and you might not be sure if the pawl was taking the force or the brake. Once the car is dead stopped with no foot on the brake then you can be sure, and if the transmission is really a concern for you then shifting into park would be the safest bet at that point.
