Clearly it's someplace people park (the full sentence, abbreviated in the excerpt in the OP, was "The keys in my hand and the cars between lines provided no clue" ). From your mall reference, it sounds like it could be what they call one level of a multi-story parking garage.
ETA:
A multistorey car park[1][2] (UK English) or parking garage (US English;[1] also called a multistorey,[3] parkade (mainly Canadian), parking structure, parking ramp, parking deck or indoor parking) is a building designed for car parking and where there are a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place. It is essentially an indoor, stacked car park.
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistorey_car_park
So yes, it references a multi-level parking structure, but they do call the entire structure a parking deck (as opposed to my earlier guess that that was the name for one level of it).
