You can't park like that.... there is no safety assessment for it...… Aye well there is one for parking with 20knts of wind up my chuff and it ends with a 100k hot section due melted rear turbine write your report and go away.
An argument I have with various ATC/marshals all the time. P/IC is always responsible, never be afraid to stand on the brakes and ask for clarification, or at one well known international airport a competent marshal.
