Why do you park in a driveway, but are not allowed to drive in a parkway? :-)
You got the question wrong. It's "Why do you park in a driveway but drive on a parkway?"
Answer: because driveways are designed for you to DRIVE to your garage or house, and parkways are roads surrounded by PARKland.
The verb /park/, "leave a vehicle someplace for a period of time," derives from the noun /park/, "area reserved, usually in a natural state, for enjoyment of the public," which comes from Old French /parc/ "enclosure." Cf. /baseball park/.
