You will likely find the indicator was on, so indicator on, ignition off will light that side parkers.

I think thats how it works, my car is not here at the moment.

I understand it is a European thing for parking in narrow streets?

Yep it is definitely a parking thing and not just for Europe! I remember doing by drivers ed years ago and you are meant to leave the roadside park lights on to warn traffic that your car is there. You simply flick the indicator to the left or right and that side is illuminated
