sometimes you can backup to get friction that will melt the ice. but forward is usually beyond the capabilities of the vehicle.
Seriously? There was so much snow in Ithaca this year and the temperatures were well below freezing. I've never had such an issue of the parking brake freezing. Heck even when I did some driving at 2am with the engine stone cold there weren't any problems.

What about cars that have a manual transmission? How are they supposed to park in the freezing cold???
