Friends want to go to an Embassy in Queensgate from East Sussex but want to
take the car to a railway station just outside London and then catch overland
train into London then tube to Gloucester Road. Can anyone suggest somewhere
suitable to leave the car, either (cheap!) car park or quiet road not far from
a station? They're thinking perhaps Croydon or near? TIA

It all depends where in East Sussex you're coming from.

One of the best ways would be to go to Haywards Heath where there is a
large car park and then take a train from there direct to Victoria - and
then take a taxi to Queensgate!

Quite.

Making sure you leave the cabbie a nice tip ;-)

But as to your substantive point then yeah, if you can do something
like go to Haywards Heath as opposed to messing around with getting
into London then that would strike me as the preferable option.

But here again a good, fast service means both a not-all-that-cheap car
park and anti-commuter street parking restrictions

So how about Chessington South, Tattenham Corner, Epsom Downs,
Chipstead, Upper Warlingham (all zone 6) or Ashstead ?

Chessington World of Adventure has lots of parking.
