Anyway, unless it's a very steep incline, many A/Ts have hill-assist either permanently enabled or one that can be switched on. Even the old 1st gen Innova A/T has it (permanently enabled). On an incline like in a carpark building ramp, if I let go of the gas pedal, the vehicle does not slide back. Though it's still best practice to have your foot on the brakes nevertheless. However, you're assured that the car will stay put when you move your foot off the brakes and onto the gas pedal.

If it's a steeper grade, use the handbrake to hold the vehicle.
My car doesn’t have a hand operated parking brake unfortunately. Its a diesel & the torque prevents it from sliding back on an incline but there were a couple of occasions that the grade was too steep that the torque wasn’t of much help. I left foot braked instead.
