If you push the brake pedal down an inch or more, the master cylinder piston is pushed past the inlet hole from the reservoir. This will keep the fluid from draining.

I sometimes I jam a screw driver under the gas pedal over the brake pedal and under the clutch pedal.

Or sometimes I use an ice scraper (piece of wood, etc.) jammed between the driver's seat and brake pedal.
