There is an on-going thread about whether or not to install a parking brake. I did not, but I can offer an alternative:
I put tabs on the front of my tow bar, as suggested by others, to use it as a rudder gust lock. (tabs keep the bar from falling off the rudder pedals; handle of towbar is against the seatback; lap belt holds it down.)
All you need to do is move the towbar up so it pushes on the right seat brakes. I can do this while holding the brakes from the left seat. Yes, it does require pre-planning, so the towbar is within reach.
