Find a space to leave a coat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parka

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

'a coat' is the definition.
(parka is a kind of coat)

'find a space to' is the wordplay.
'find a space' becomes 'park' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'park'+'a'='PARKA'

'leave' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parka that I've seen before include "Hooded garment" , "hoodie" , "Windproof jacket" , "jacket for cold weather" , "Weatherproof jacket with hood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
