As above, that will almost definitely be the rear brakes sticking on even though you released the handbrake. It's nothing to worry about although if you don't like it, and your garage is flat, you can leave your car parked without the handbrake on and keep it in gear. Just don't forget when you start the car and shoot forwards.

this happened to me monday morning, sunday night i drove in the torrential rain put the handbrake on and monday morning as i moved away BANG, but i do have a sticky rear left caliper so that's not helping, the bang to worry about is the gearbox exploding lol

I find it happens most often when I wash the car on a Saturday morning and don't use it until Monday. Never concerened me to much
