A little movement in P is normal. Try setting the parking brake. It should not move then.

with your foot firmly pressed onto the brake, go from "D" or "R" to "N", apply parking brake, let go the brake, make sure no movement, with your foot again firmly pressed onto the brake, go from "N" to "P", then shut off engine

*when parking brake is applied in "N" and your car rolls even just a little bit, it's time to have the parking brake adjusted
