As a Beijinger, I wrote this article to introduce the subway parking in Beijing. Hope this can be helpful if you are planning your trip to Beijing.
The subway of Beijing consists of 8 lines. They are: Line 1, Line 2, Line 5, Line 8(Line Olympics), Line 10, Line 13, Line Batong, Airport Express. You can find the English subway map from our website travel2chinainfo dot com. It is easier for you to understand what I am saying in the following paragraphs if you have this map.
Line 10:
In the Zhongguancun area, you can park your car in Bagou station. There is a lots of parking lots there and the capacity is about 200. Another good choice is the Zhicunlu station, there is a hotel named Cuigong near this station. The cost is 2 rmb/ hour.
In the Guomao area, you can park your car to the office buildings but the fees are high.
There is no place for parking near the Huixinxijienankou station.

The Lishuiqiao station: There is no big car park there.
The Yonghegong station: You can park your car under the Yonghegong bridge.But the parking lots are not very easy to find because there is an “Administration of Exit and Entry of Beijing Public Security Bureau” nearby and it is always crowded there.
