The correct procedure for parking on an incline is to bring the vehicle to a halt, with your foot on the foot brake select neutral, apply parking brake, remove your foot from foot brake and allow the parking brake to take the strain and only then select P on the gear lever.

And it's the same with a manual, otherwise it puts strain on the DMF springs and they fail earlier than normal
