You are placing a lot of pressure on the parking sprag when it is on a hill. As a result, it is hard to move from park. You can avoid this very easily. Place the parking brake on so that it holds the vehicle in place. Then, place the vehicle in park. That way, the pressure is on the brake and not the transmission.

Okay, now I understand. You should always use a parking brake when leaving the vehicle. However, placing it in park should hold the vehicle for you.
