misplacing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doing' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'with car clamping is possible' is the wordplay.
'clamping is' anagrams to 'MISPLACING'.
Though, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'this' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
