Its not a lot of money but I would if it really affected me quote it as a reason for refusing a renewal. I'd definitely want a raise to cover it.
I might also leave right on time to get to my Vehicle in good time for an evening appointment just when they need me to do a bit of free overtime.

Happened to me in Dartford. I had the choice of parking a mile away and hoofing it, or leaving.
I walked

Why are you assuming the fact he cant use the car park as a nice cheap IR35 indicator.
The OP just said he cant use it. Doesnt mention whether its because he is a contractor, whether its full or if permies have been affected.
OP - just suck it up and pay for parking.

I only work form site 10 days a month.
Ok, £100 isnt a lot - but isnt that beside the point?
Anythign I can do?
I worked somewhere for a consultancy company (as a permie) once on client site long term (2 years). No sub-contractors allowed to use car park. Permies only. Cardiff city centre parking hell.
Its not unusual.....

A real contractor would just drive through the barrier and buy a new car everyday!

When I was at the last place they removed the free coffee. This cost me £10 a month, but I gritted and completed the contract.

In Windsor (where the parking is a PITA) I used to park outside of the town where it was free and walk a mile or so in. Could you do something similar?
