If the car has sat long enough to require warming up all the moisture that might have been able to freeze in any of the components would have done so already and would not be able to cause any problem.
I happen to use the Parking brake on my Auto all the time, but one thing I can do with the auto is leave it a click down and if it does freeze I can pull it up an break it loose easier.

I don't remember this myself, but my folks say that when I was two I drove a car up a rock pile.
