Another idea, I see them parked illegally all the time. Let a member jump in and move it and they give you a $XX credit for doing so.
Or to take it one step further, perhaps something like giving people an incentive to move cars that are nearing their time limit in a zone. So not illegally parked YET, but could be entering the ticketing period. Currently people have no reason to care whether a car has been sitting there longer than the one beside it, but a variable rate or credit would certainly help.

By simply using GPS data and some detailed maps, this could save Car2Go a tonne of money.
