Since it's now sitting pretty at 1/4 million miles - I don't worry 'bout it anymore ... I just keep my foot firmly on the brake when shifting into reverse.
This is a common problem. Check your brake coonection to the release mechanism. I think some cold weather lube like graphite works here. It's all less complicated than it seems.
