Re: parking brake

for the between seat and door option, two ideas:

generic forklift park brakes. The ones I'm thinking of rotate a full 90 degrees between off (down) and on (vertical). The end of the knob rotates to adjust the cable tension so that over centering affect works.
If you have room between seat and door to reach it and located it so the up/on position lines up with the seat back it would not be in your way getting in and out

you could also use a straight pull brake lever like was used on some older vehicles (late 70's toyota pickups are one I know for sure). pulls straight out from dash, twist end to release. It could be mounted for a vertical pull beside seat back
