double parked
Parked beside parked
Double parked describes a vehicle stopped parallel to another that's already parked at the curb, blocking it in.
The practice is illegal in most places but common for quick stops: I'm just running in—I'll double park for a second.
Getting double parked in means someone has blocked your car.
