Too bad this story didn’t come out yesterday:

Paul McCartney gal pal and Manhattan MTA honcho Nancy Shevell has a pass that lets her flout city parking rules, The Post has learned.

Shevell, the raven-haired MTA board member who has been dating Sir Paul for months, slid her shiny, black SUV into a commercial loading zone on a recent afternoon.

She then brashly headed off to a Manhattan salon, without the slightest fear of reprisal from a meter maid, photos taken at the scene show.

That’s because Shevell has a special MTA police placard plastered to her dashboard that allows her — and the rest of the agency’s board members — to park their vehicles in no-parking, loading, and metered zones.

An MTA spokesman said agency rules stipulate the pass can be used only for “official MTA business.”

He declined to say whether Shevell’s parlor pit stop qualified.
