You got the question wrong. It's "Why do you park in a driveway but drive on
a parkway?"

Answer: because driveways are designed for you to DRIVE to your garage or
house, and parkways are roads surrounded by PARKland.

The verb /park/, "leave a vehicle someplace for a period of time," 
derives from the noun /park/, "area reserved, usually in a natural state,
for enjoyment of the public," which comes from Old French /parc/
"enclosure." Cf. /baseball park/.
