This is why I drive a convertible. Just jump in without opening the door.
If I were you I would just leave a note on their car saying, "sorry I left a bad scratch on your car" and watch them take laps around their car trying to find a scratch without ever finding one.
Your real name wouldn't happen to be Bo or Luke would it?
There are security cameras everywhere--sometimes even on-board vehicles looking at all 4 sides of a vehicle. As good as it might feel to do what you suggest, these days, I'd be afraid to get caught on surveillance video. The cops would still likely side with the idiot who parked you in.
I'd consider a potato in the exhaust if you had confidence in not being photographed doing it.
[que eddy murphy voice] i aint fallin for no potato in the tail pipe!
So there is only one door on the vehicle you drove today? Honestly, you chose not to use an alternative to get into your vehicle after knowing the owner was not going to move their vehicle so you chose to wait 10 minutes.
That means you have no reason to complain.
I have a sports car that would be VERY difficult to crawl into the drivers seat from the passengers seat.
Just sharing my experience so that you understand that it may not be a great option for the OP especially if they are older, have a bum knee etc etc.

But what if they find one? And your confession is in writing...
Just get a LEO friend to give you a few tire deflation replacement spikes and keep them on you. Next time this happens just go up to the vehicle, drop your keys and when retrieving them put a spike or two into the tire thread. Walk away and wait until they come out and start driving away. Watch as their tires deflate, usually as they enter the road, and goes flat. They may never know why, but you will. Revenge is way under rated!
I need to find a LEO friend! LOL - I've had the same happen (and I'm pretty small) when I couldn't get in my car. SUV drivers need to learned how to park/drive (I'm also of the opinion that there should be separate parking slots at the far end of lots since many I encounter don't know how to "stay in the lines"
I would've got in my car somehow, double parked directly in front of her SUV, popped the hood, and had "car problems" for about 15 minutes after she came out and was ready to leave. She felt no sense of urgency when you were wanting to go and she was in the store but I'll bet when she is ready to go she will be singing a different tune.

The incident that I referenced took place circa 1998, and I seriously doubt if there were security cameras in the area at that point. Nowadays, I might hesitate to do what I did circa 1998, but--then again--Quien Sabe?
Another issue I have is that due to zoning all developments need a certain number of parking spaces for each businesses and because the cost of land is so high developers simply make the parking spaces as small as legally possible. They expect large SUVs to be able to park in these small compact car spaces just because the city has approved all the spaces totally the number needed.
@ the OP
It also goes a long way in how you approach the owner of the vehicle. People are less likely to respond to an angry person who is yelling or talking loud as to who the owner of a certain car is unless of course you're trying to get their attention because their car is leaking a lot of gas or is on fire.
I think it would be funny if a person kept a can of white / yellow pray paint in their car so if this happened they simply sprayed a line down the side of the offending car and then left a note telling the owner they crossed the line.
Get some Plaster of Paris and mold a supply of fake turds. Paint them brown. Always carry some in the trunk of your car for such occasions. Imaging the video you could had posted had you deposited one of the fake deuces on the woman's hood!
