I dont take my bike to places that I have to park for a very long time. But when I do, where I park depends on the situation.
If its a busy parking lot where people are competing for spaces, I'll park near a bicycle parking or somewhere along the building where I'm not obstructing foot traffic. It also prevents having people racing into the seemingly empty parking space your bike is in and potentially knocking it over.
If its not a busy parking lot, I'd park in a regular space, usually on a space beside the curb so that its easily seen.
