All cars with rear disc brakes have this problem. The discs cool and the brakes slacken off. You can mitigate this partially by setting the parking brake quite hard, so the spring in the cable compensates a bit, but really you should always leave a car with rear discs in gear when you leave it. Reverse is best - it's normally the lowest gear so offers the most braking effect.
