I've been parking like that for about 50 years. Only time anything was an issue was once in downtown Birmingham, I parked at the courthouse like that.
The policeman saw me, swung around. Noticed the car ( on the right as pictured above) was over the line in the back of his vehicle and gave him(her?) a parking ticket.
He just looked at me and smiled. I went on about my business and still didn't feed the meter.

I had something close to that happen with people Backing in, I was watching as he came upto the front wheel within two inch's. I went and said something and was told he used a backup camera and not worry I told him move into your spot and get off my front wheel. HE DID.

Yet another reason to never use parallel parking spaces.

I either park on the actual sidewalk out of the way, or in a slant or perpendicular space.
