Making the assumption that you use the emergency brake when you park... Try parking without using it. If the light stays off the next time you drive it, I would first look at the switch (pressure) that the pedal presses against. Most likely it is sticking and it takes the vibration of the car traveling a few miles to get it to release turning the indicator light off. If that is the case, try spraying a dry lubricant on it and pressing in a couple of times to spread it around. May be all that is needed.
