You forgot to mention the turning of the steering wheel, and letting it roll slowly downhill until the wheel touches the curb.

I understand the use of neutral to let your brakes hold your car up instead of the transmission. I think you can just press the brakes, put it in park, pull the e-brake, and then release the brakes. If you release the e-brake, the car will roll an inch before the transmission stops the car (or at least on the MT).
