I don't think you have a great defense. The state can probably prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that you drove the vehicle to that location. However, if you have some story about how the vehicle arrived there, and how you intended to get transported somewhere else without driving then you might have a defense. Just like in a DUI case, the fact that the keys were not in the ignition, matter here. You also have a possible entrapment defense, but you would have to prove that you had no proclivity to drive the vehicle had they not asked you to.
