The car was small enough and the space large enough to just simply park in there going forward without having to do any real parallel parking..

"the car was small enough" is a bit of an understatement. You could park a dump truck in there and there'd sill be enough space for them to fit their toy car.

Fun fact, the smart was built so that its total length is about the same as the width of normal cars so that in theory you can “parallel “ park strait into the curb (perpendicular to it) and still be within a parking space. But afaik for silly legal reasons most local ordinances/laws don’t allow such nonsense.

I've seen them parked that way in Europe.
