OP:

i leave it in D or R, apply Parking Break and then turn ignition off. this way Parking break holds the car, not your gearbox, which is not good in long term if you park on non-flat surface

dont worry about electronics, once you lock the car, everything shuts down
The problem with that is what if I'm parked in my garage? I don't lock the car there.
