Yes!! This happens to me sometimes. I'd park the car, observe my orientation by observing my surroundings or an object/wall/car in front and it would look straight. I hop out of the car, and the car is crooked.
Definitely something with the car.

I believe this is dead on correct and is a result of, "Adaptive Steering"..

After a freeway jaunt every morning where the steering is slow and tight, the "light" wheel into a parking lot at low speed makes it a bit strange.. But you get over it in time.. Especially when your co workers give you crap about your parking and leave chalk lines on the ground..

It's not just you..

I use mirrors to get into the center of the spot and the camera to adjust as I pull in to the spot and line it up straight with park stop or with whatever is behind the car.
