That doesn't seem to be the way parking was designed.  It's a first 
available distribution of a series of numbers you choose. The problem 
with your plan is that it can't handle a second call on an extension. 
Coming up in V1.4 is something called SLA or shared line appearance 
which might do what you want depending upon how it's implemented. For 
the moment you just need to tell people extension to pick up to 
retrieve a parked call.  Here it's always 701 as we've never yet 
parked 2 calls.
