I struggled with this a bit and the documentation is VERY poor, but this is relatively easy to do once you understand how it works. I thought I would post to share the simple solution to multiple parking lots on Asterisk 1.6.
First, in features_general_custom.conf create your new parking lot:
[parkinglot_pt]
parkpos=7011-7019
context=parkinglot_pt
parkingtime=45
pickupexten=*8
THEN, for each extension that you want to use this parking lot, add the following to sip_custom_post.conf:
[2000](+)
parkinglot=parkinglot_pt
Once this is done, when the extension dials the parking lot extension (i.e. 7000 in my case - changed from the default 70), they will get a parking slot starting with 7011. SIMPLE.
If the PIAF team will simply add the "parkinglot" parameter to the extensions config page and allow for the addition of multiple parking lots on the GUI, this will be a lot simpler, but this is an easy solution for the time being.
I hope this helps some others from pulling their hair out on multiple parking lots on 1.6 - it's not well documented yet, but it DOES WORK!!
