In my El Camino I almost never apply the parking brake. With the automatic transmission parking prawl and parking on mostly flat parking lots I just don't see the need.
With the 911, yea, turn off the ignition, yank up the parking brake, and let out the clutch with the transmission in first gear, even in the mostly level garage at home. And I lock the doors, even in the garage.
And personally if I am hit from the rear in any car, I don't want to be an immovable object, I would rather take some of that energy as forward momentum and spread the impact forces to dissipate force. Even if I do end up getting pushed into the car in front of me.
