Can a parked car with an automatic transmission slip out of gear if the car is parked on a steep hill?

It could slip out of park, but most likely would "park lock." This would mean the parking pawl would jam inside other parts in the transmission, making it tough to get your car out of park. Sometimes pushing the car is the only way. Use the parking brake on a hill.

When driving a automatic transmission commercial vehicle when should you downshift?
The purpose of the automatic transmission is that is shifts for you. You'll want to lock your transmission into your ideal gear for going up and down steep inclines to prevent it from downshifting, but, other than that, you typically let the computer do the shifting for you.
What is the difference between drive 1 and drive 2 in a car?
Drive 1 locks the automatic transmission into first gear (preventing an upshift). Very good to use when parked or stopped on a very steep slope and you need to move forward and do not want the transmission to shift. Drive 2 locks the automatic transmission into second gear. This is sometimes referred to as a "snow" drive position, as it causes the engine power to be applied to the wheels much more slowly (via converter slippage within the transmission) minimizing actual wheel-spin when accelerating from a stopped position.
