Has anyone found a good way to have valets actually park a Prius for you? I
gave the guy the little card that Toyota provides, gave him a brief rundown
of how to get the car to move, and he ended up leaving the keys in the car
and leaving it on the street instead of trying to figure out how to drive it
to the parking garage. I think he thought the valet information card was
actually the key, since he had dropped the key on the floor and didn't even
realize it ...

No. Or if they have they're not talking about it.

This is always an issue it seems. I had a guy the other day swear he
knew how to drive it, then I see the Prius engine roaring as he kept
pressing the gas (in Neutral), wondering why he wasn't going anywhere.
Turned out he knew about 5 words of English, including "Yes, I know how..."
