Airport parking through Ryanair

I booked airport parking with Ryanair at the same time as my flights. Seamed like a good idea as the price was okay and it'll all together with the same company.
However Ryanair changed our flights, they informed us of this and although it had now cost us an extra night accommodation we have accepted the flight change.
I asked them to ensure the airport parking has also been changed to suit, but they have said I need to contact the airport my self. The airport parking say they can't amend the booking as it was via Ryanair.
Ryanair are refusing to do anything saying they can't and the airport also say they can't, and all I can do is pay again.

    I booked airport parking as part of my flight booking .  The only question I was asked was the registration number of my car. After completing the booking process I then received an email confirming my parking booking. . It made it clear that the booking  couldn't be amended or cancelled which was fine, they were cheaper than other options such as holiday extras.  The problem was that the arrival time was 2 hours before my flight departed (when Ryanair recommend I should be at bag drop) and my exit time matched exactly my landing time for the return time.  I spent a pointless hour on webchat going round in circles as the CS rep struggled to grasp the obvious impossibility of exiting the car park as my flight landed and suggested that I needed to contact the airport parking "people" or amend my flights. 

    I have been flying with Ryanair for >25 years and have no problem playing by their rules regarding extra fees and charges but what they chose the entry and exit times which are a physical impossibility to achieve and response it basically you are on your own.

    Interestingly enough if you book parking separately via Ryanair (outwith flight booking) they do ask for an entry and exit time.

    I know this is an old thread but I have a similar issue to dsw_123 where the entry time for my Stansted parking (booked via Ryanair) has been set to just 2 hours before the flight and cannot be amended.  The exit time at least has been set to something sensible.  
    We have checked bags to drop off so I'm hoping it will not be an issue if I turn up at say 08:30 or 09:00 to the car park instead of the 09:35 shown on the booking email.  Anyone have any experience of this?

    Just in case anyone wonders about this in the future,  I did not have any problem arriving at the car park earlier than the entry time shown on the booking email.  We got there almost an hour before the time booked by Ryanair and our number plate was recognised and the barrier rose without a problem.  Also no issue on leaving.
