It depends if the illegally parked car is a danger or interuption to the normal flow of traffic. For instance if someone is parked in a handicap spot illegally, and you hit them, obviously it is your fault. You need to be able to prove that due to the other persons actions of illegally parking, it inevitably led to you hitting their vehicle. Just remember, you are the one moving, and you are the one who hit the "non-moving" object.

Whose insurance pays in PA a no fault state when you hit an illegally parked car in a parking lot?
Yours, because the question is ... even though that car was illegally parked, what type of driving were you doing that caused you to hit it? No fault only applies to injuries. Property damage is the responsibility of the at fault driver.
Whose fault is it if an uninsured driver slides down a snowy unplowed driveway into the illegally parked car of the homeowner?

If your car is parked and someone drives into your door?
This question is incomplete. I will assume you want to know that if your car is parked illegally and someone drives into your door, whose fault is the accident. A driver's is presumed to be in control of his car at all times while operating it. In other words, if you are tooling down the street and you see a car stalled (or parked) in the middle of an intersection ahead of you and the light turns green for you at the same time, you don't get a freebie to go smash it just because you had the green light (right of way). Now, if it was illegal to park your car in a specific location just because no reasonable person (another driver) could see it in time to prevent an accident, that would most likely be the fault of the person who parked the car there. Another possible scenario you could be asking about is if you are parked legally and you open your door into the lane of traffic, where it is struck by another vehicle, whose fault is that? In that case you still revert to the reasonable person standard. It is generally presumed that no one will open his car door into a lane of active traffic if a reasonable and vigilant person would would expect it would cause an accident making it the fault of the occupant of the car who opened the door into traffic. On the other hand, if the car door is opened and remains open for so long that "lane vigilance" is established and another reasonble person/driver could have braked or turned out of the impending collision, then the accident would most likely be their fault. I hope that helps.
