Question

First I will go park and then to the movie.
I meet him first and then I will get back to you.
Please meet him first.

Often he does to theatre to watch movie.

Can we use first and often in the first, last and middle of the sentence?

Please help me.

"Often" doesn't look right to me at the beginning of a sentence. I don't think it's wrong, just odd.

"First" looks fine in your examples, and the middle and end use of "often" is fine.

First I will go and park (the car), and then to the movie. OK
I meet him first and then I will get back to you. OK
Please meet him first. OK

Often he goes to the theatre to watch a movie. OK, but not the best position. 'He often goes' is more common.
He often makes this recipe. OK
He goes to that place often. OK

It's unclear in your first sentence whether you're going to park the car or whether you are going to a park.
