Also, just a bit of driveline play may be in the diff and tranny prior to putting it in D or R. The slack disappearing could be the source of the clunk as well. Try the first thing, and see how that works. This is extremely helpful when parking at any sort of angle.

Actually try putting the car into neutral first, put the handbrake on whilst foot still on the brake then release the brake ensuring the car is stable then put it into park. This way you will not get any clunk and it is better for the tranny.
