stupidly

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

'parks in reverse without aim like an idiot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'parks in reverse without aim' is the wordplay.
'parks' becomes 'puts' (park can mean to put or place).
'in reverse' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'without aim' becomes 'idly' (I've seen this in another clue).
'puts' in reverse letter order is 'stup'.
'stup'+'idly'='STUPIDLY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stupidly that I've seen before include "Not very brightly" , "in a thoughtless manner" , "Foolishly" , "In an unintelligent manner" , "Lacking sense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
