Grab the hook and go over to the nearby tree, stay close to it and press the E button on the tree. You will see a cable attached from the car to the tree. Then enter the car and press R to pull the car to the tree or G to unhook it. You don't need to unhook completely if you just want to rehook to another tree, just grab the hook from the usual place on a whinch (the cable will still be connected) and press E on another tree to rehook to it without the car rolling away.
The parking brake is automatically applied when the ignition is switched off. Do not use the winch with the ignition off, otherwise you will get a cool car bounce effect and you may fall off the road because the wheels are blocked and the car won't pull properly. Conversely, turn off the ignition if you need to get away from a car that is hooked to a tree. Sometimes it will unhook itself and roll downhill with the ignition on. I also always turn off the ignition when rehooking to another tree, because sometimes the hook does not work the first time, and then the car unhooks from the previous tree and rolls downhill into the woods, and I get sad. Turning the ignition off acts like a handbrake and the car stays in place no matter what.
Developers, please add a hand brake or a parking brake to the game.

Will add while I am at it. The winch is definitely a cool feature in this game, but there is no real use for it. The most fun I had with it was trying to get to the moonshine spot with a weak engine, unable to get through the mud normally. So I took the forest route with constant pulling and attaching to the next tree, but there are a lot of places where trees are rare and there's nothing to attach to, so it's as much fun as it is painful.
Now I mainly use it to get the car back on its wheels after a rollover.
