Novel idea, but I think a conventional parking brake or wheel chocks are a more practicable solution to the requirement.

Please take no offense, as my son was a first officer for Air Canada for more than a few years.

Looks like my half empty water bottle after descending into LHR. Pressure differential phenomenon IMO, compounded by runway patting.
Unbraked wheel on six wheeled bogie so not something you'd normally see !
