It's a gamble.
If it's busy then booking well in advance will get you the best price as the prices will only go up as demand outstrips supply.
If it's not busy then you can often get a bargain right up late to the date of the flight. Not Luton but I paid less once for valet parking (drop off in short stay car park) than I had booking months in advance on a different trip and parking far enough away that the courtesy bus took 20 minutes to get to the terminal.
The hedge is looking at the cancellation terms, if it's possible to do so then book well in advance and then see if it's cheaper to cancel that one at the last possible moment if there's a better deal elsewhere.
Ultimately you've just got to be happy with the amount you're paying. One time at Gatwick the prices were so high (even months in advance) and didn't come down that it ended up being cheaper to get a cab there and then train/cab home.
