Just pop it in "Park" and take your foot off the brake. Simples
Or pull the P brake and leave it where it is. Much more simples
I remember a thread in the old forum where somebody was convinced the HOLD function turned OFF the brake lights.... but it turned out, he got out of the car and went back to have a look. And of course, as soon as you open the door, it puts the parking brake on for you.
Oh, how we laughed!
Simpler times
Used to have 2016 Macan Turbo PHCKCL70
Previously a 2014 Macan Turbo.
Now a 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR
And the Macan automatically releases the handbrake when pressing the accelerator. So even more simples! I just stop the car, flick up the handbrake switch, and take foot off brake. Then press accelerator when time to go...
Current - Macan III GTS
Previous - Macan II GTS, Macan I GTS

I find it easier to slip it into neutral with the parking brake applied. It's just one push forward without having to press the gear lever release. Yes, you do have to press the brake and the gear-lever release to put it back into drive, but for a stop of any duration it's better for the driver behind. You have to bear in mind though that selecting anything other than drive releases the Hold function if you had set it when coming to a stop.

One of my pet hates is people driving Agricultural Vehicles in the city, pushing in front of others and as I was driving a 2-seater coupe, all I could see was a loadbox or tailgate!?
That gave me a good cover story for Mrs P that I had to overtake the AV, so that we have better visibility of the road and traffic ahead.
Now... I am getting an AV myself [emoji38]

Personally, i'll be waiting for the all new one in 2022.
Some press reports say this is the last IC engined Macan and the next model is pure electric. I trust you are happy an electric vehicle can fulfil your needs?
