The problem you described will usually occur whenever the truck is parked on a hill regardless of the direction the front is pointing, up or down. I have found that the best way to avoid the difficulty you describe is to engage the emergency brake before shifting into park and shifting into whichever gear you want before releasing the emergency brake. It would seem that you are fighting the weight of the truck that is applied on the park pawl when the truck is parked on a hill. I don't believe that a cable adjustment will help.
