I'd say 'hell no'. Wear only occurs when surfaces rub together, typically. As long as your car doesn't coast anywhere when parked, wear ain't gonna be a factor -- even if you use the brake to hold the car that short time from brake to gas pedal in a manual tranny.

It wont make your brakes wear out any quicker.

If you are at a complete stop when you put it on it will do absolutly nothing. Jsut make sure you get it tight.

Also, I would suggest putting your PARKING brake (not e-brake) on before you release your brakes. This puts the pressure of the car on your brakes rather than your transmission.
