Default Blob eye brakes stay on !

My 51 impreza brakes are staying on. My drive is on a slope, as my car roles backwards I press the brake pedal and stop. I release the brake pedal and the car does not role back until I lift the clutch pedal !
This makes no sense to me ! Why would lifting the clutch pedal while not being in gear release the brakes.
The brakes have just been serviced, I have just fitted a second hand engine and new clutch.
Please , does anyone have any ideas, I need to MOT it ASAP.

Thanks, Alistair.
