Can't speak for the UK, but I often see Smarts parked sideways around Paris. The car is indeed longer than the spaces are large, but a factor that helps a lot is that regular cars are rarely parked nicely inside the lines. Which means that, in practice, the sideways Smart doesn't stick out from the other cars.

Assuming your native language is French, I think you mean “wide”, not “large”.

I see them parked sideways in London all the time.
Same in Prague.
never seen in Italy
