My car will do that if I don't rev the motor up a bit before engaging the trans brake. The band that the trans brake activates may need to be adjusted as well.

If its creeping forward the low gear band is not slipping, the reverse clutch is.

Concur.

What pressures are you running in the trans ? And/or, is the transbrake solenoid activating fully ?

Check pressures, should be at least 200 psi with a brake.
