Hi Gibbo
Welcome to the SLK World Forum!
I see your car is 2006, has it had a main dealer service recently?

Sounds like you need to get it checked properly (leave it in gear when parked in the meantime) , if by chance you find you need a new handbrake mechanism, before forking out for a new one let me know, I've probably got one in the garage somewhere..
