Isn't there also pressure against a pin/stop of some sort? I was always taught to use park with e-brake. And, when on a hill/slope, e-brake and neutral with no park.

When I first started driving before I got my first car I drove my dads old 76 Ford F100 with a 3 on the tree. On a steep hill it would roll back slightly. We are not talking sudden rolling, it would just start to creep back.
