When parking on a hill, always set your parking brake and turn your front wheels toward the curb if facing downhill, or away from the curb if facing uphill. This helps prevent the vehicle from rolling if the parking brake fails. Additionally, it's important to put the vehicle in gear or, if it's an automatic, in "Park" mode for added security.
