How to parallel park - a guide to mastering the manoeuvre

Few manoeuvres strike fear into the hearts of learner drivers like the parallel park.

What about really tight spots where when the car goes 45 degrees you nearly hit the car apposite side of the road :( I've passed my test but scared to drive as I can't park on my congested street
