A little trick I used to use back when I was 16 was holding the e-brake up to prevent the car from rolling back and then released it once the clutch engaged.

Great tool to use to learn but still need to know how to do it without one. I have never pulled a handbrake on a hill in 40 years of driving. Mind you there was no handbrake for 30 years of that and since the foot engaged parking brake's life expectancy was about 6 months before they seized or snapped you had to learn to do without.
