Put the car in neutral, pull the brake, and release your foot brake to ensure that the parking brake is actually holding the car rather than the park position on the transmission. 6-8 clicks should be enough to hold the car on a hill.

Which part of SF are you in? I tried parallel parking on Union Street once...never again...I don't even want to drive there, but then again I was a complete when I did that.
I'lll try putting it in neutral before switching it to parking and see what happens, I'm in the Inner Sunset area, still a good amount of hills....That's SF for ya
