No handbrake will lock the wheels while the car in is gear.

Must have had pretty poor hand (parking..) brakes on your cars. You
really didn't want to pull the handbrake on hard in the Dicoverys
(but then it's a transmission brake not at the wheel(s). The mondeo
would lock up no problems. The current Freelander has an electronic
hand brake and IIRC the handbook says nasty things are likely to
happen if you manually switch it on when in motion. Most of the time
you have no need to touch the parking brake switch, it looks after
it, including hill starts.

The answer is to turn off the ignition, but not remove the key. Leave
the car in gear. You will still have steering and brakes.

No key, just a button "Engine Start/Stop", there is a steering lock.

Think I'd just push hard on the foot brake with the car in a high
gear and stall it.
