basically... stop the car.... put it into neutral ... then apply the e-brake.... (handbrake over here) and let your foot off the brake. then stick it into park.... this takes the pressure off park from holding ya car for you.
During my brief stint as a professional offroad drive instructor at Biltmore Estate

I learned this...
bring vehicle to stop...engage parking brake...move tranny selector to neutral...release foot brake (by doing this instead of going to neutral first you avoid a situation where you don't (potentially) have control of the vehicle...we were taught to avoid neutral at all times)...go to 'park'.

we were drilled..."The parking brake is the first thing on and the last thing off." (when driving recommences)
