Actually my MSWord doesn't respond correctly...it just took it a minute to parse the grammar. Took out that sentence.

When used as a stand-alone sentence, you're right:

  1. Where should this car be parked? <-- correct
  1. Where this car should be parked?

Now... if it's part of a larger sentence it's different:

  1. Do you know where should this car be parked?
  1. Do you know where this car should be parked? <-- correct

My version of MS word correctly responds to both of these examples. II would speculate that either there was some other typo that made MS Word think you were in the second scenario, or it was just a flat-out bug in the grammar checker.
