Always put it in gear, regardless of steepness or even presence of an incline. First gear if you roll backwards in neutral.
Reverse if you roll forwards in neutral.

And last but not least don't forget to set your handbrake/e-brake/parking brake. Always be cautious and pay attention when you're driving. You shouldn't be doing 50 things while your car is idling, just drive!
