TL/DR: Don't put it away with wet brakes.

The problem: Water will dissolve into the transferred binder layer on the rotor, as well as into the pad itself and turn the binder into glue, which then dries as it sits and bonds the pads to the rotors.

The solution: An easy 3 minute drive around the block will dry out the pads and rotors enough that then they won't stick.

EDIT: Yeah if you live on a dirt/gravel road that will make this challenging. Maybe driving the car back and forth a few times down the driveway while riding the brakes to get some heat into them will help. The anti-rust spray is certainly worth a shot for the money. If not, go for the RV wheel covers.
