I would be inclined to park at Poggibonsi station, but take the bus into Siena. (All the regular Siena-Florence buses stop about 100 metres up the road from the station.)

The reason I say this, is because the bus arrives just on the outskirts of Siena at Piazza Gramsci - an easy walk to the Campo, whereas the train station is at the bottom of the hill about a mile from the town.
