You can't drive in a parking lane, but you can park in a parking lane. 
It's a common term in English, and since OSM tagging is English-based it 
doesn't make much sense to argue based on Spanish usage.

... I don't really see what our "problem" is that isn't solvable with 
street (or theoretically kerb) tagging. If the problem is that it 
doesn't show up visually on the default map, then I'd say that's a case 
of "tagging for the renderer".

On the other hand, if drawing amenity=parking areas alongside the street 
is what you want to do, certainly I've seen situations (such as the ones 
Paul linked to) where that seems to work well.
