Why cant you take your car out of park?
On a newer car, the car's brake must be applied to get out of park. Most cars will not go out of park if the key is not in the "on" position. It may stick if it's very cold outside. In an older car, parking on a hill can cause the shift lever to stick in park. To avoid the last one, apply the parking brake before shifting into park when parking your car on a hill. To get the car unstuck from a car in park on a hill, rock the car up the hill while pulling the shifter.
What is the best way to park a car in a parking lot?
If you are parking in a Parallel park with two cars on either end of your car, make a reverse entry and park the car as it is easier and accurate, if you are parking parallelly with two cars on your either side, park your car in take-off position i.e. face outwards as it is easier to get out... on an elevated or lift parking also, park in takeoff position...front outwards, when parking on an incline, if the car's front is facing the slope, keep the car in reverse gear and if the front is opposite to the slope, keep the car in first gear; apply the parking brakes in all the cases...wherever you park, leave a reasonable amount of door-opening space so as to not obstruct yourself or others...

How do roller coasters roll?
They roll on small wheels. :) The cars are pulled (or pushed) to the top of the first hill on the track. Traditionally it is pulled to the top by a chain in the track that is driven by a motor on the ground. The first hill is always the highest point on the track, thus the cars can "coast" down the rest of the track. If one of the later hills were higher than the first hill, then the cars would not be able to coast to the top of the higher hill. When ever the cars go down, they gain enough speed to coast to the top of the next hill.
