backing in
Rear-first parking maneuver
Backing in is the act of reversing a vehicle into a parking space rather than pulling in forward.
Many drivers prefer backing in because it makes departure easier and provides better visibility when leaving: I spent an extra minute backing in, but it was worth it when I could just pull straight out.
