Actually, the recommendation is to use the parking brake as much as possible even if you don't need it. This keeps it from freezing up on you. I spay mine every so often with WD40 also.

One thing that you may want to consider is the rubber brake hose going to the rear brakes on top of the rear axle. It may be starting to collapse internally on you and allowing more fluid to one brake. If it's never been replaced, old, or you're not sure, I'd replace it anyway.
