Sounds like you've got the wrong bulbs fitted to the rear lights or a poor earth,take the rear bulbs out then apply the brake and see if the front park light then comes on,if it doesn't come on then you're in the right area check the correct bulbs are fitted.

It normally means you have a stop/tail bulb holder (two prongs in the bottem) on the rear and have fitted a bulb with a single 'foot' on the bottem.
Therefore when the brake is applied it puts power through to the posistion lamp circuit.
