I haven't much experience with wipers, but to narrow it down a little..

Did you replace the blades only or replace the wiper arms attacked to the car too?

Just changing blades should not have effected the wipers parking correctly. The parking pawl being bent is usually the cause for this. This may have happned because they got stuck in ice or possibly moving the arms to much when replacing the bladess. There is a small part that needs to be bent back to fix this.
