WHILE LANDING, THE PLT NOTICED A PLANE PARKED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY, AT THE DEPARTURE END. HE BECAME CONCERNED THAT HE WAS NOT SLOWING AS FAST AS HE DESIRED & THAT THERE WOULD BE INSUFFICIENT ROOM TO PASS. THEREFORE, HE PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE HANDLE. THE ACFT THEN BEGAN TO 'PULL TO THE LEFT.' IT CONTINUED OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE NARROW RWY & WENT DOWN A 4 TO 5 FT GRADE. THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE GROUND CAUSING THE ACFT TO ENTER SIDEWARD SLIDE. AN EXAM REVEALED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. A MECHANIC STATED THAT IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS USED WHILE THE ACFT IS IN MOTION, ONE BRAKE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY LOCK UP BEFORE THE OTHER.
