why ever would you put it in neutral, when turning off the key with it in gear would provide as much or more braking power than the hand brake and take less time???

I'll give it a try next time out, but I'd expect with properly adjusted brakes the park brake would lock up the tires, not nearly as good as using the engine in 2nd and then quickly 1st, you might try practicing with down shifting and double clutching to give your brakes longer life
