Can you set a long distance home point?
As in set a home point, drive 2km and have the Spark fly back?
 
This sounds like an ideal use case for a Litchi Waypoint mission.

But if you don't want to buy the app I think you could: Set the waypoint as usual; Then keep everything powered on while you drive 2km; Then take off to desired altitude and do RTH. If you power off the devices your waypoint will reset upon next power up.

You may lose GPS signal in the car so regain enough satellites before you launch. Compass error from metal and electronics in car also an obstacle. I think if you get new new launch area without error messages RTH should get back to original waypoint.

You can try GPS spoof app (require root and DJI GO MOD) and set RTH to remote (if you want spark to have pre set RTH in case if you lost contact). But if you are sure that connection can be maintained, especially at RTH point, you can just use RTH to remote without gps spoof app.
Other way is GPS lock your final destination by physically beeing there and set RTH, and then later launch from start point.
