Except to get to those metro stations, I would have to travel 30 minutes in the morning in the opposite direction of where I am going and use neighborhood road cut through just to make it to the station in 30 minutes from my location in Alexandria City.  But the King St and Braddock Rd stations are only a 10 minute drive.  With the bus, why should I spend 40 minutes on the bus just to spend another 30 on the metro?

Now if they put in parking at Potomac Yards, I would see more incentive to use metro. But then again, the cost of metro is high enough at this point for round trip during rush hour that I could just pay to drive downtown and park and the difference between costs is pretty small.

So if there was a parking garage at PY, you wouldn't use it anyway. That might be one hint why they won't build it.  Note also, if you did use it, it would draw you to drive in to a dense area, which makes no sense. Plus putting a big parking garage right next to the station would both preclude putting offices/apts at that site, and also make it less pleasant for people from slightly further to walk there.
