So you've never parked and ended up between trucks or a van?  It's 'easier' backing out of a parking spot with people, probably like Jaguarmeister, driving too fast?  That's EXACTLY why I back in, so I can get out without getting plowed into or some idiot blaring his horn at me and having the common courtesy to let me out.

It's not so much the backing in as it is the backing in when cars in either direction or both are waiting on the slow [BLEEP] to back in.  I've had a guy back in to a space in front of me when he could've driven through the space into the one in front of it and been facing the next aisle over.  It was the most asinine thing I've ever seen.  I do drive thru parking spaces to be facing the next aisle when I can, but I can't recall being in a situation where backing out of a space felt so dangerous that I regretted not backing into it in the first place.
