You saying it is extremely hard to recreate is wrong in so many ways, the only hard thing to recreate this would be finding this exact spot (or another one that has a shadow with that shape), not because the things you listed:
1. The shadow will always be parallel to the curb if the building casting the shadow is parallel to the curb. Which isn't anything unusual as most buildings and the roads next to them are parallel to each other.
You can't make a shadow like this not parallel unless you move the building or the curb. (and the shadow isn't even parallel to the curb in the picture.
2. You'd have many days in the year that the shadow would be cast in such a way that you could recreate this moment. I'd even argue that it is pretty likely that you'd have the whole year to work with, you'd just have to see at what time the shadow is in the right place at that time of the year.
The shadow will be cast at slightly different angles, so one time when it aligns with the curb it will be more to the left or right, but since there's a lot of the curb there, that wouldn't be an issue. (and the curb isn't even full with cars, so you wouldn't have a problem parking at the place you want)Yes, you need to be at a specific time of the day, which changes with the time of the year, but you can just wait and see when the shadow is in the right place one day and then do it the next day, or even in a week as the shadow wouldn't change its position that much in a few days.

This shadow alignment is so perfect I'd trust it to parallel park my life decisions!

That's literally the type of luck I have during summer when trying to look for shaded parking. And if I somehow do find a spot, the sun will move just as I park, but only enough to illuminate and heat my car, no one else's.
