Parking vs Parking lot vs Parking garage: What are the differences? Please check out my examples I'm in the parking. I'm in the parking lot. I'm in the parking garage. Which is on the ground and which underground? I mean public parking.

Parking is used to describe a general location where cars can be parked (There is parking out front.) or as a verb (I’ll be there shortly; I am parking). A parking lot brings to mind a flat, open surface area. A parking garage is a building with multiple levels that holds a number of vehicles depending on the size of the parking garage.

You would not say the first one. Although it is is gerund acting as a noun, you would not use it to describe a parking place. It would be better to use 'Car Park'. In the other 2, the word is acting as an adjective, it is describing 'lot' and 'garage', making it a compound noun. These are more American usage than British English.

English, in America, would not use the phrase "car park." A parking lot will always be at ground level and is typically referred to as the place a person parks outside of a business, but not always. A parking garage, as noted, typically refers to a building with multiple levels, above and/or below ground and only used to park vehicles.
