This is obvious, you are. If you find you cannot get out without hitting or tapping the car next to you, PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE. I know most of us wish we could punish that S.O.B who takes up somewhat more than one space or even two spaces, but let it go and park elsewhere.

As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
