Don't use the E brake. It locks the rear brakes.
I think your technique is wrong. This is what I do. First I press the brake lightly. I then press on the gas with increasing pressure. If the car starts to move forward increase the pressure on the brakes just a bit. Once the car is stabalized, keep on increasing the gas. It should break loose by then.

On a side note, the look on people's faces when you pull in to a mall parking lot, turn the ESP off and start doing donuts and figure 8s... PRICELESS

Don't drop from high revs in neutral down into drive----ever!!!! I tried this last year in my heavy *** Tahoe. Results were not cool. Ended up blowing the pin out the rear diff creating a hole the size of a golf ball, also blew out 1st and 2nd gears in tranny. Tried to limp back home 1 1/2 miles, and the right rear came out with axle still attached, then grinded on the frame to a stop. Please learn from my mistake!!!
