This is why the early model years displayed the "CHECK BRAKE LIGHTS" message on the SID after starting the car... to prompt you to put your foot on the brake. That not only tests operation of the brake lights, but confirms that the cruise control software is going to get a signal when you hit the brakes. It would be unsafe to use cruise control if the system couldn't tell when you hit the brakes...
It's good practice to ALWAYS engage the brake pedal while you turn the ignition key to Start. That way, if there's some odd transmission failure (or stupid oversight or gear selection on the driver's part), the starter doesn't move the car and cause an accident. Plus, it takes care of that "check brakes" requirement.
