I have to say I agree with Sha on this one.
If you are not confident in using .htaccess then I wouldn't bother. I think there is a much easier solution:
1- As Sha said, use webmaster tools to tell Google how to handle these parameters, this should slowly start to take them out of the index.
2- Add rel=canonical to all your pages, this way even if parameters are added, the rel=canonical will always point back to the original and remove any risk of duplicate content.
I hope this helps.
