When starting an automatic transmission vehicle uphill with the parking brake engaged, you need to wait until the engine has enough power to pull the vehicle forward (preventing rolling backward) before releasing the parking brake. Releasing the foot brake first would cause rolling, keeping the parking brake on too long is unnecessary, and accelerating with the left foot is not standard practice.
