Do you need to use a parking brake when you are away from a short time?
In an car with an automatic transmission, you should be fine not using the parking brake. In one with a manual transmission, leaving the car in gear should suffice, but it can be hard on the transmission to do so. If you are facing downhill, leave the car in reverse. Alternately, if you are facing uphill, leave the car in any one of the forward gears (1st through 3rd-6th depending on what you top gear is).

On a 2000 Grand Marquis what could cause the gear to get stuck in park?
With just about any automatic transmission if you park on a slope and don't set the parking brake, the car rolls downhill a little bit until the transmission locks and it can't roll any farther. This can cause the car to get stuck in park. You might have to get another car to push you slightly uphill to disengage the parking pawl within the transmission (just a couple of inches, no more.) Whenever parking on a slope you should set the parking brake first, then put the car in park.

Does it harm your car to park facing up hill?
No more than it would harm parking it facing downhill. Makes no difference really. Just make very certain that you do these things when parking:* always point the wheels away from the curb when facing uphill * always point the wheels toward the curb when facing downhill * always set the parking brake while your foot is on the brake and BEFORE putting into Park on automatic transmissions. Applying the parking brake should be done every time regardless of the terrain. If one gets into the habit of doing this all the time, then it will become automatic. The little pin in the transmission is all that is holding the car from rolling ... use the brake, too. It will help greatly when you are trying to get the transmission out of Park when on a hill if the parking brake has not been used.Manual transmission people always use the parking brake (handbrake) anyway, so it is something we do without thinking. A good habit for everyone.
