If your brake is sticking, but "pops" when you move the car, it is the pads seizing on the discs. Its not a problem - its just what happens as the discs are untreated metal that will rust. When you use the parking brake, you press the pads onto the discs and humidity and dew will cause the discs to rust a bit, essentially gluing the pads to the discs.
Its not a tight seal, so the car is able to pull away and the pads "pop" off the discs. It is not ever a problem unless it is very cold out and the system is wet, because then the pads can freeze to the discs and the car cannot pull away and pop them apart.
Best bet is to park in gear and let the engine hold the car still. If you have an automatic, there's no need to use the parking brake, but you can and just do not use it in very cold weather.
You shouldn't rely solely on the parking brake to hold your car, especially on a hill. As you drive, the brake system heats up and expands, and when you park everything is hot. As it cools, things shrink, and the pressure on the pads and the discs will lower, possibly letting the car roll away.
When you park on a hill, be sure and point your front wheel into the curb in case the car does roll, this will keep the car from rolling away and causing any serious damage. If facing down a hill, turn the wheels into the curb. If facing up a hill, turn them away from the curb.

the first answer is a good place to start, also change your parking style a bit , let the engine hold the car a bit more ( if you have a standard ) then apply the brake. it worked for my grumpy old beetle until i repaired the cables

Is it cold out (below freezing)? if so the cable can freeze. There are a few other possibilities too. check cable for kinks, check rear brakes for hang-ups (and rust). sometimes they simply wear the lining in the cable housing. you may have to replace it.
