Won't that put stress on the gearbox if you are parked on a hill ? (assuming that DSGs have the same sort of mechanism to stop movement of the car when Park is selected as conventional autos). This could make it difficult to move the gear selector out of park if the stopping mechanism is holding the weight of the car.

Why would it do that?
