Rear collision prevention... or something else

Last rant for now, I promise :) Just getting used to my new car, so figured a month in is a good time to ask questions.

Behavior: I am backing up slowly, usually out of a parking spot and beginning to turn, then the car stops suddenly and is in Park rather than Reverse. There is nothing behind me that I can see. I swear under my breath, move the stalk to Reverse again, and continue. Sometimes it will happen again. Typically I keep my foot on the break pedal, so I can back out carefully and slowly. After that, all good, and I drive away.

I wonder if this is an overly agressive rear collision prevention, or a fluke, or just me being an idiot and pressing the break pedal too hard (although that would not move the car in to the "Park" position, I don't think).

Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.
