There's always the chance of a hotspot on a disc, normally caused by holding the front brake on when stationary, pad residue gets deposited on the disc through heat which will create a raised area for the pad to grab on.

No actual help but I have always thought sitting with the brakes on would do some sort of harm but didnt know what. So long as the incline is not to much I sit with my right foot on the floor and my boots shin section behind the foot rest so I dont roll back

You're meant to use the rear brake when stationary, it's just not advisable to hold the front brake on for long for this very reason.
Saying that, if it's a windy day both feet are down and the front will get used.
There's different circumstances so no set in stone rules.
