It's not a good practice to leave car in park . The parking pawl is a secondary device to back up the hand/parking brake and not intended as a primary parking brake.Car should be parked hand brake/ parking brake applied ,then put into park . Leaving in park on an incline as you are places a lot of pressure on the pawl and cause the clunk when it's released and still unde pressure. It will cause unnecessary wear and will eventually fail costing a lot to repair. It's a bit like pushing a door as hard as you can while unlocking it !
