Generally, you use GET when you're retrieving information from the server and POST when you're sending information to the server (as when you're submitting a form).
Django is designed so that, if you have GETs and POSTs for a form go to the same URL, you can display the form on the GET branch and deal with the form submission on the POST branch. If you then return an HttpResponseRedirect after dealing with the submission, pressing back will not re-submit the POST and you'll avoid lots of these problems. In short, use GET as a default and only use POST when you're submitting a form. (There are probably more subtle rules, but stick with these unless you have a good reason to break them.)
