Yes, but all that applies to backing INTO the space while you are backing into it. Also, most people don't EXPECT you do back in... but they do expect you to back out. Finally, since the front wheels pivot it is easier to back on then drive out forward... you need less room.

As someone above said, I feel that people that back in are "on the lamb" and planning for a quick getaway.
