Exactly what is locking up? Your post is a little vague in places.

How about you find a little hill and back up without any help of transmission. Hit the brakes and see if it "locks up" the same way.

So your brakes are getting jammed somehow. Lose pads maybe? Since it never happens with an E-brake, then you can eliminate the rear side. Check your front pads, something is wrong there. Good luck

when my brakes kept locking up it was because of the brake master cylinder. i would get it checked out.
