As a former driving instructor I have an explanation for this phenomena. When you first teach someone to drive you try to start in a big open space (re carpark). Once they start to relax you move off to the roads. When it's time to start learning to park, where do you go, the quiet car park of course. Once they have practised enough in an empty car park then it's off into the wild wild world again to practise on real cars.

OK, forward to current times and my Toorak Tractor and I want to spend money at the shops. This requires going to them and parking. Now once I have bought what I need to from the high end shops I head back to my tractor. If I park close to the doors then not many people are going to see me carry my high end bags of thingies and say to themselves that rich *****. By parking further away chances of being spotted are increased.

Alternatively, it may simply be they have no idea how to park unless it is beside a poor lonely little car that they want to make feel small so as to justify their buying a big car.
