2016 Land Rover LR4 Brakes Problems

“Car was running, but in park (parking brake off). I went to the back to get something out (I was dropping something off at a neighbor's) and the back tailgate wouldn't open. Went back, opened door and pressed unlock button on door. Still wouldn't open (which I realize now probably is because the car wasnt actually in park). I thought it was because the car was on, so I reached in to press button to turn it off. Car began quickly rolling back down the driveway. I jumped in and pressed the brake, fortunately no injury, but very scary. …”
