backed in
Reversed into place
Backed in describes the manner of parking a vehicle by reversing it into a space rather than pulling forward.
This approach positions the car for easier departure and better visibility when leaving.
I always backed in so I could make a quick exit.
The phrase can also describe entering any space in reverse: The delivery truck backed in to the loading dock.
