I need to swap two sub-strings in a word. The idea is that with the cursor
within a string, the two sub-strings get swapped.

Examples:

For the word ParSkip with point on the letter S, one gets SkipPar

For the word Keybinding with point on the letter b, one gets bindingKey

You can enable subword-mode (M-x subword-mode RET) and then swap the
words with M-t (transpose-words).

(That doesn't work with your second example though)

Maybe something like this:

(defun my-transpose ()
  (interactive "*")
  (let ((point (point)))
    (cl-destructuring-bind (begin . end) (bounds-of-thing-at-point
'word-strictly)
      (goto-char begin)
      (insert (delete-and-extract-region point end)))))
