YOU hit a stationary object. The fact that it was not parked "properly" has no bearing on the fact that you are supposed to have full and complete control of your vehicle at all times!!!!!
You should take responsibility for your actions. You, or your insurance company should pay for the total cost of repairs, and you should pay for a rental vehicle for her while the car is in the shop.
You also need to adjust your attitude, and not try to blame others for your mistakes!!!!!

Your question is worded so poorly that I cannot understand how anyone can answer it with a straight face. I sure can't. You are asking me that if I hit an improperly-parked car, is it YOUR fault? Let's say that YOU hit the car and you want to know if it's YOUR fault. Of course it is. The world is full of people who can't wait to blame someone else for their screw-ups. What you should have done is to gone back in the house, pulled her off her boyfriend, put a robe on her, and made her move her car.

I once hit a parked car and the owner of the car was cited and had to pay for my damage. A vehicle cannot be more than 18 inches away from the curb while parked.

You are behind the steering wheel of the moving vehicle. You are the one in control and therefor the one making the decision. A parked vehicle even improperly positioned is not the decision maker and not responsible for avoiding a collision. Any damages incurred due to the circumstance is the responsibility of the human behind the steering wheel who caused the movement of the vehicle.
If I hit a car and cause damage it is not your fault

What, there is some new rule about that it's okay to hit and damage a vehicle under certain conditions? Do you know how silly that sounds? If you hit and damaged a car, you are responsible for making the owner of the property whole. Period.

Yep, the car in motion is always at fault in a situation with a parked car..parked legally or not. If you couldn't exit, you should've asked her to move her car.

Not necessarily. Years ago, I parked my car in a parking spot in front of a Western Auto store while I ran in to get a part and my car poped out of gear and rolled back into an SUV parked long way behind me. I felt so bad for the guy because his car was brand new, but when the cop came he ticketed the guy for parking illegally and I was let go with no charges.

My Friend,
I'm afraid the fault is yours. You could have gotten your room mate to move the car, or waited to leave, so many possibilities. You could plead you case to your room mate, but in the end you are at fault.

Did you think about asking her to move it? That obvious aspect aside, yes, it is your fault. Apply the same logic to hitting a pedestrian...if they're not in the crosswalk, is it their fault for getting hit?
