Based on the look of it, there is no "out of the way" you could smash that car, except stacking the car on top of another one belonging to an innocent.
One could consider breaking in and drive the car out of the way, but that's a technically complicated operation. Their best hope is the noise will get the driver's attention, and record the plate to send that driver a large fine.
They could push it forward and weave through.
But this engine doesn't seem to have much protection in the front so they'd likely risk breaking the front (radiator, fans, belts, other important components).
Update:
I asked an actual fireman and they said if their crew got in this situation they'd likely winch the car backwards. Alternatively they'd get out and drive/push the car forward by hand if possible.
If nothing works they reroute.
Pushing the with the engine is a last resort.
