Why would the RPM on a 1995 KIA Sportage go up when in park?

when you're in gear, the engine tries to move the wheels and the brakes hold it still. this suppression from the brakes, combined with frictional losses through the drivetrain, lower the engine RPM's. When in park, the car's wheels aren't being driven therefore you don't need to press the brakes. tjhis lessens the load on the engine dramatically and therefore, engine RPM's rise

You press the brakes and the car is at a full stop it shakes like you could feel the vibration what does this mean?

If you mean when you are coming to a stop, and press on the brakes, you feel a vibration- this most likely means that your brake rotors are warped and need to be turned. If you mean you are already at a full stop, in idle, and you press the brake and feel a vibration- it may mean a vacuum problem in the engine or something like that. So it depends- is it your brakes vibrating, you feel it in the pedal? Or is it your engine suddenly running rough and the whole front end of the car shakes?
