It already does that:Strange indeed, I always back my car in, the screen shows the distance between the rear bumper or camera and the work bench behind the car, allways stop at 24 inches. Then I pushed the button on the stalk, the car is in park and the break pedal engages. That's how the car get kept in place even when parking on hill roads (I got to try this).
The car moves itself is dangerous. Could kill small children, even adults. Tesla must revisit their software to detect no one sit in the driver seat and engages the break unless it is in tow mode with the tow bar in place (2 conditions needed).
At mean time, a stop block under the wheel works great.

"Model 3 automatically shifts into Park whenever you connect a charge cable or if two or more of the following conditions are met simultaneously while traveling slower than approximately 1.5 mph (2 km/h):
The driver's seat belt is unbuckled.
The occupancy sensor in the driver's seat does not detect an occupant.
The driver's door is opened."
In fact people complain about this when they are in a car wash (it may shift into park while trying to grab something with seatbelt off and butt off the seat) or if they are used to moving the car while door is open.
