I occasionally use the handbrake on a hill to launch from a dead stop, but usually, I just heal and toe brake, accelerator. Keep the brake on, give it some gas, let the clutch out a bit till you feel the car move and then just ease off the brake. Never rolls back, never stalls.

I never use the handbrake when parked.
