Common problem with all cars with people that use the park brake is the cable(s) stretching. They are most likely stretched, or your assembly isn't adjusting itself. I'd do the brakes then see if it fixes itself, if not, just most likely need to shorten the cable. Or just not use the park brake anymore, never once touched mine, just leave 'er in gear

Aha, yes it's normal if you're on a steep enough incline, slam it in revers,lower gear ratio, should hold it a little better. If I lived in an area that had a lot ofhills (like it sounds like you do) then I would fix it, if not, I wouldn't bother.
