The real reason the parking brake doesn't work well is because the brake shoes have worn in and the brake adjuster on the rear brake needs adjusting. Tightening the cable is not the correct way to fix the problem and you will eventually run out of adjustment. Check the FSM.
On the rear rotor there is a small rubber plug that gives you access to the parking brake adjuster. It is a star shaped wheel that you can turn using a flat blade screwdriver tip. You adjust the wheel until you feel the brake dragging slightly. Adjust both the left and right sides.
