The same thing happened to my car. The parking lights came on witht he brake pedal. It also caused the parking light fuse to repeatedly blow.
One of the rear tail light bulbs had shorted. There are two separate filiments in the tail light bulbs, one for the parking light and one for the brake light. One of the filiments had partially bent and shorted the adjacent filiment casuing the brake ligts to activate the parking lights and vise versa.
You can pull each bulb and look carefully at the filiment wires inside, or use a multimeter
