I had good luck last fall digging up my parsley plant, getting as much of the root ball as possible and a good slug of soil, putting into into a pot (I used an empty kitty litter bucket), and keeping it over the winter in our unheated sun room. I cut parsley from it all winter and spring.
I had hoped to be able to plant it out again in the spring, but it died back eventually. The times I've left it outdoors to winter over it hasn't survived, either. It does get cold here and there's usually not much (any) snow cover to insulate things, plus animals munch on it.
