Parallel Parking is not so much about a particular method, it's about how you execute that method.
The key is consistency.

Things you can control with this method:
 - Always be the same exact distance from the vehicle that you are parallel parking behind. 
   The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle that you are pulling next to should always be the 
   same. It should not be 2-3 feet one time and 4-5 feet another.
 - Your turning point should always be the same.
   Your turning point should not be mirror to mirror one time, mirror to the middle the next and then 
   mirror to the back of the other vehicle another.
 -  Be as consistent as possible with your recovery point(s). This is the point(s) at which you either 
    turn your steering wheel to the left to straighten out or turn your steering wheel to the left to 
    reverse straight back.
 - Be consistent with how much you turn your steering wheel in each step. This should be a precise 
   as possible. You should not turn your steering wheel 1 full turn in one instance and then turn it 1.02 full turns in the next instance.
 - ***The position of your side mirror is extremely important in this method. Your mirror position  
   must be the same each time you parallel park. Inconsistent mirror position will prevent you from 
   being able to consistently pick the correct size triangle.

Things you can not control with this method:
 - The length and width of the other vehicle
 - The distance that vehicle is from the curb
 - The physical position of the license plate on the other vehicle
 - Without making the proper adjustment these things could cause you to have inconsistent results.
 - Things that obstruct your view of the curb: Leaves, Driveways, Snow, Puddles, Grass

Good luck. :-)
