You should use your emergence/parking brakes as a backup to your regular brakes.
When parking uphill on a street with no curb, the front wheels should be positioned to the right. If there is a curb, the back of the right front wheel should be turned against the curb.
If a manual transmission, place te shifted into first gear. If automatic, place the shifted into park. Regardless, if the car faces up the hill with the curb on the right, turn the wheels as far to the left as possible. If facing downhill with the curb on the right, turn the wheel as far to the right as possible. Just remember, uphill = away, and downhill = toward. Also don't forget to set the parking brake.
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.

In gear. Whichever one... doesn't really matter.
When parking uphill with a curb, turn the back of wheels
In what direction should you turn your wheels when parking uphill without a curb in Texas?
if you parking uphill you turn your wheel towards the curb and if you parking down hill you turn it away

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).
When parking uphill on a street with no curb, the front wheels should be positioned to the right. If there is a curb, the back of the right front wheel should be turned against the curb.
When parking, especially on a hill, the hand brake should be fully engaged When you are driving a manual transmission vehicle, the handbrake can be partially engaged to give you better control as you push the clutch and gas when starting from a stopped position going uphill, so you don't roll backwards.
Left. Or, away from the curb.
toward the curb
Turn your wheels to the left.
