I think that if you're blocked in by the offending vehicle, then they are obstructing the highway and you can get them towed away.
If they block you out, not much you can do.
If they are parked on your drive, they are trespassing.
You have got a legitimate dropped kerb, haven't you?

Call your council, but be aware it isn't illegal.

To be honest authorities probably won’t have the time or resources to sort this out. Best advice is have a friendly polite chat to driver of the car, be angry and unfriendly will only get them annoyed so best be polite at first and see if you can get them to stop blocking you in.
