Charge the battery first - the parking lights are usually set with the lightning switch - I'd check that it's not set to "on"

No, the switch that puts your headlights on. A lot have settings for left or right parking lights.

Get a battery conditioner, hard wire it to the battery and connect it up every time you park up at home.

I've a couple of Ctek conditioners as well as 4 optimate ones.

You can leave them connected all the time you're not using the vehicle (I've 6 in use...)
