This sort of situation is not helped by the modern way of handling exit from car parks by machine alone, with no human intervention.
In the late 70s / early 80s I used to park in a multi storey car park in Newcastle city centre regularly and it often took 20 minutes upwards t get from your parking space to the exit, there was never a hint of trying to charge for that time, while in the same situation now I could see the "system" trying to penalise drivers for that "overstay"
IMHO, if you leave your space before your allotted time is up that should be it, anything after that is not your fault and should not be penalised.
