Try this:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'latex-mode
                        '(("\\(myparencite\\){\\(\\(.\\|\n\\)*?\\)}"
                           (1 font-lock-constant-face)
                           (2 font-lock-doc-face) )))

Here is a dump that shows that it works :P

But seriously, this is a quick fix that is useful to
know and often to use but for more complicated stuff
it will run into to problems - that are patchable (?)
- sooner or later anyway (both the problems and the
patches).

So probably instead I'd be content with just
highlighting the command which will make for
a super-easy regexp and a most-definitely tangible
improvement at low cost.

Otherwise dig deep. Here, I have a piece of code that
hopefully will discourage you from such long-ear
workaholicism - highlighting starts line 246. No, only
those mad, or very enthusiastic, do that sort of
things...
