Indeed, you need to control the bitcoin address to do that trick
But the bitparking admin is used to recover those coins, just send him a mail with the details he asks: http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1337#p1337

I absentmindedly sent a few NMC to an address generated by bitparking to deposit BTC. Can your trick work in this case or do I need to have control of the bitcoin address the coins were sent to? Where does "privatehexkey64characterslong" come from?

Your namecoin sending wallet is at /home/jackjack/wallet.dat
Your bitcoin receiving wallet is in your default bitcoin directory (if not, use pywallet --datadir option)
0. Download my pywallet fork and exit namecoind
1. In console 'cd /path/to/pywallet/'
2. Run './pywallet.py --dumpwallet' and find
4. Restart namecoind with the rescan flag
Your coins are now again in your Namecoin wallet, and you can even use that Bitcoin address as a Namecoin address
I hope this will help someone one day
