School car park cow

School car park one - we have a very large school and car park gets v busy.
Dd was in after school care which clocks over to the next charging tier at 5.30 and I arrived from work with minutes to spare. Only space was in between two cars - to the left the lady was sitting in her car and well over the line. I squeezed in and ran to get dd. As I turned to check it was locking, I saw her looking grumpy and testing out opening her door then she shut it.
When I got back she got very cross winding down her window and saying I shouldn't have blocked her in. I said, sorry I had to run to get there before 5.30 and you were over the line. She said - it wasn't my fault, there was another car when I parked that was over the line.
The fact was a) there was no car to her left when I got there so she could have manouvered over to get out b) She could have got out of her other door c) she didn't actually need to get out as she was waiting for her son who walked to the car anyway.
We had a few more words and dd was trying to get into her seat when she revved her engine and said very aggressively- "I'm reversing so I suggested you get out of the way" and we had to jump out of the way, shaken up.
Aibu to think what a cow and I shouldn't feel guilty here?

We all make mistakes whether it was her or you however there was no need for her to be so unpleasantSad
