White horizontal space

Question

I know the possible ways to add white space between two texts, as explained and answered here. What I'm struggling to set is a white space before one word, nothing that I tried worked except this:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}
    \noindent\fcolorbox{black}{white}{
        \parbox{\textwidth}{
            Usage: export.py \\
            \begin{tabular}{lp{5cm}}
                & Save the ...

    \end{tabular}}}
\end{document}

My question is: can I get this output from the line in a different way or this is the only way to have a white space before a word?

EDIT: update the code; the everything is inside a parbox and I cannot use \quad, \qquad or \hspace.

EDIT2: I need to create a box with inside the option for a script in a similar way they are presented in the terminal:

You can add some horizontal predefined space with \quad for example. Or more general, \hspace{1cm} (use with caution). — Sigur, Nov 26 '18 at 13:07
Explain better what you wish. There could be a better way to type it. For example, move Usage: in the first cell of the table and export.py to the second cell, 1st row. — Sigur, Nov 26 '18 at 13:09
isn't this a description list, something like \begin{description} \item[export.py] Save the ... then with suitable style for the list item labels being applied? — David Carlisle, Nov 26 '18 at 13:10

Not a complete answer, but, just a starting point for you:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\begin{document}
    \color{white}
    \noindent\fcolorbox{black}{black}{
        \parbox{\textwidth}{
            \begin{tabular}{lp{5cm}}
                Usage:& export.py \\
                & Save the ...\\
                Options:&\\
                \multicolumn{1}{r}{-h,}&-{}-help    \\      
                \multicolumn{1}{r}{-p,}&-{}-please continue\\
                    \multicolumn{1}{r}{-f,}&-{}-from here\\
    \end{tabular}}}
\end{document}

which will give you:
