When stopped in heavy traffic in my Fiat 500L dualogic, I quite often put the handbrake on rather than keeping my foot on the brake. Is this doing any damage? Should I move the gear shift to neutral before doing it?

Also, engaging the handbrake and taking your foot off the brake makes the engine start if the stop/start has engaged. Is there any way to stop this?
