Huh? Assuming you're parking normally, on the right, wheels are turned
left when uphill, turned right when downhill. Always so the front wheels
will hit the curb if the vehicle moves. If no curb, then point the
wheels in the direction which would cause the least damage (which
usually means going off to the side).

That's basic driver's ed.
