I've noticed on several occasions cars being parked in a row three vehicles deep leaving the middle row of vehicles boxed in. I was caught in this last night at the theater. I parked at the end of a row and returned after the movie to find cars parked all around me. In fact the whole row of cars I was in were boxed in. I had to wait 30 minutes before people started showing up.  
 
What gives people? What if there had been an emergency and someone needed to get out.  
 
Pay attention to your surroundings. Be considerate. Its Christmas!!

It's as if we have never had snow before -  
 
At the mall yesterday the rows were so off that I could barely get my car down a row in places. At Shoppers by the hospital, I could not back out of my spot because people in the middle row were not paying attention to where the dividers were.  
 
The problem just gets worse and worse from the first car or truck that does it wrong too. Then you get people who refuse to straighten their vehicles and it compounds the issue further.  
 
Just wish people would use some common sense and pay attention a bit.  
 
Like I said, this is not the first time we have had snow on the ground, and it is not going away any time soon.

call a tow truck and get them out of the way

Not sure why they wouldn't have called a tow truck. If I was blocked in that would be my first instinct rather than just wait.

Who pays for that call? ...The guy that calls (You)? ...The owner of the whichever car you decide to move? ...Or the Mall? And where should the towed vehicle go? ...an impound yard perhaps? And what happens if the "offender" arrives before the truck? ...Are you left hanging with the bill? Too many what's ifs on a dark, cold night, alone in the middle of a parking lot.  
 
What I have done years ago... was called a friend with his big-@$$ truck, wrap a tow-rope around their axle and pulled that piece-of-$hi++ out of the way. But, now I'm older and married (my extra conscience)... I don't know what I would do, other than bitch at the mall service desk.  
 
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

The manager of the theater had contacted Paladin Security as they manage the parking lots. But I didn't know who to move, the car in front or the car in behind. As it turns out the car in behind was parked properly. It was the row in front of us that were stoopid I would have felt like an eel if I moved the wrong people.  

That is poor form for sure. Four low comes to mind as a solution to me.  
 
And here is yet another reminder to clear the snow off your car. Saw more than one that used just wipers so zero visibility except forward.
