Car rolls slightly when in neutral

We subscribe to one of the car wash monthly "unlimited wash" plans for our 2001 TL-p. When I pull in and they tell you to go to neutral, the car rolls forward on its own slightly. If I drag the brakes it can complete the wash.

Is there some sort of linkage adjustment at the transmission that could cause this?

Or is it a sign of internal problems inside the transmission?

I apologize if this seems too simple-minded a question (I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed... just a tool), but is the carwash built on a a completely flat surface? My garage is what most would consider a flat surface, but in neutral sometimes a car will be able roll out when given enough time or a tiny push.

I read somewhere recently thats a sign of overfilled ATF. No idea if thats fact or not but you may take a look at your level
