In a corner failing to get parking? Reverse and go someone else! (6)

I believe the answer is:

depart

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

'go someone else' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in a corner failing to get parking? reverse' is the wordplay.
'in a corner' becomes 'trapped' (I've seen this in another clue).
'failing to get' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'parking?' becomes 'p' (abbreviation on road signs).
'reverse' is a reversal indicator.
'trapped' with 'p' taken away is 'traped'.
'traped' back-to-front is 'DEPART'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for depart that I've seen before include "Take one's leave, go" , "Leave, vanish" , "Stray" , "Prated (anag.)" , "Retire from" .)
