I believe the answer is:

savant

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

'one who's learned' is the definition.
(an extremely clever or learned person)

'a vehicle in the street?' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (type of vehicle).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'street?' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'a'+'van'='avan'
'avan' going into 'st' is 'SAVANT'.

'to park' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for savant that I've seen before include "Scholar" , "One of great learning" , "academic" , "A learned or wise person from France" , "He displays erudition" .)
