The parking brake is a control like all others - it is there to be used when appropriate. I think waiting on a runway, taxiway or on the apron for a few minutes is a good reason. If it doesn't release, you don't go. And if you believe that your acceleration on the takeoff roll is slower than normal, you reject the take-off.
