It seems to me, based on my personal experience, the OP was on an arterial or other major road & the car approached from a side street. As the OP passed in front of the parked car, the car then acellerated to make his turn. Catching the OP's rear tire as he passed. A classic case of the driver looking through the cyclist.
I'm man enough to admit when it happened to me, I was the driver & it was joggers that caught the blunt end of my stupidity.
