Although not quite the same, we did see someone parallel park in an ordinary street. No hesitation, positioning or shunting, leaving about 6 inches clearance at each end.
He got out, locked the car & went on his way.

Like you, OH said he wished he could do that.

My car's longer than average and the turning circle is fairly wide, so parking isn't as easy as it might be.
However, parking sensors front and back do help.
