There are guys who don't put their MT in gear when they park, regardless of whether it's on a hill or not.

While I prefer the extra safety of transmission and e-brake, plenty of people use only the parking brake without issue. I don't necessarily agree with the method, but I don't see any difference whether the car is running or not. If your parking brake is working properly, you shouldn't have any problems. If not... (which is why I prefer and would recommend in gear + e-brake when parking).
