I'm not talking about like if they pull me over or if they already have probable cause or reasonable suspicion. I'm saying I'm just sitting in my car in a parking spot in a public parking lot. And they just pull up, can I just sit in my car and basically ignore them?

I dont know about that. Your home offers you much more privacy legally.

I know in Florida the court acknowledges there are different levels of detention/interaction by LEO. I believe there are 3 levels. The purpose of this is to know if LEO is illegally questioning and detaining, and if the citizen has the right to leave. This comes into play if the citizen rats on himself. If they are being held, they may have to be mirandized

The very minimal level of interaction only requires you give your name, maybe address, and you are free to leave. The key is to ask if you are free to leave or if you are being detained.

So a good thing to do in most situations is to state your name, maybe your address if he asks for it, and ask "Am I free to go, and am I being detained"?

Legally speaking, states consider operating a motor vehicle to be a privelege, not a right(google "implied consent"). But you still are protected against unlawful searches.
Give the cop your license, insurance info. and registration. Once it is clear that you are beyond a normal traffic stop, state clearly and loudly enough that the cop car's camera can pick it up: " I do not consent to any warrantless searches of my vehicle or myself".

If you guys ever watch the TV show Cops then you will see case after case of the police pulling "tricks" for getting you to do what they want & people burying themselves with there mouths.

The show makes me hate the law..

If that show makes you hate the law, wait until some crooked ass cop lies his ass off to get a warrant or another pissed off cop tasers you for no reason

i love cops and all shows like it. they are good for getting to know the way they operate. its good to arm yourself with as much info as you can. knowledge is power.

While we're talking Cops............ I was watching it a couple months ago and they pulled over this dude that obviously had his bake on. The dumbass consented to a vehicle search and the pig found a sack of weed. Then the cop asked the dude why he consented to a search if he knew he had shit..........and he answered! Talk about stupid, he waived his rights and then pretty much confessed to owning the weed.

There was another show called "American Detective", I think. It was sort of a spinoff of Cops and it showed almost the entire investigation. They used to bust grow ops and it was a great learning tool. I'd love to find it on DVD.
