Ratbastid parallel parks very well, and I'm getting better. I can usually jockey it in there in no more than 2 tries with no damage to life, limb, or property. There are some pretty simple rules, and if you have decent depth perception you should be able to do it. However, I don't have good depth perception, so I often end up a little further from the curb than I ought to be. I'm working on it.

When you're parking in a parking lot, though, there aren't really that many excuses. All you have to do is pull in! I have had it happen, though, that the person next to me parked like an idiot so I have to park too far to one side or the other, and then the original bad parker leaves and I just look like an idiot who parked badly for no reason.
