You back in, yes. Because if you go in forward, then you have to back out into the aisle, and then find somewhere to turn around or just go backwards through the entire lot.

How I would do it is this.

Find any open space on that row / aisle, whatever you want to call it. Park forwards into that spot as you normally would. Then back out of the spot, now driving in reverse towards the end of the aisle.

Maybe at this point you try to go more towards the pink car and not in the center of the aisle, nor do you want to be closer to the blue car. <- Vital. The proper time to start turning into your spot is just as ZeromuS said, though I would start out turning before your bumper reaches that line of the outside line of your spot (the other line being the end of the aisle). By first going backwards in a straight line near the pink car, you give yourself some wiggle room by turning before the bumper reaches the border of your spot.

This will ensure you don't hit the wall. After a while it will come naturally to you. The key here I think is to get there early and make sure someone else's spot is open so you don't have to drive backwards through the entire parking area!

This was fun.

Hah, nice diagram. One thing I've noticed is I need to leave a fair amount of room between my car and the cars on the left, otherwise when I cut the wheel to the left the right side of the front bumper will scrape the parked cars on the left. I guess the best line would be roughly half-way between the center of the aisle and the left side of the aisle.

As I mentioned earlier, getting the car turned around is not a problem, actually. I will just practice and play with those 'gaps' you drew until as you also said, it comes naturally. I'm still waiting for a chance to try it with the other cars all parked there.

Ha! Did I make you scrape someone's bumper?

I like doing it with a 'gap' between the lines like in the diagram because it allows me to almost hit the Big Blue Truck's bumper, at which point I correct the path barely, narrowly missing the corner of the bumper, and then crank it!

I'm definitely getting better at the 'back-in' maneuver... but nobody has been parked next to me lately so this is currently not even an issue!
