I've never understood that personally, since it's easier to reverse in and drive out, than to drive in and reverse out.

Nor me its baffling, Birchanger services or whatever its called now at Stanstead is the place to see this in all its glory.

You'll find a whole row of repmobiles, huge things like mondeos and Audi A6's, far too big for their drivers to be able to control, they insist on driving into the parallel spaces, and instead of taking two 'bites' which anyone with an ounce of common can see it needs, the try and get the wheeled Titanic in with one turn.

Well unless you own a RWD Volvo or MB it ain't going to happen, so the end result is a row of cars all driven in, aligned in herringbone pattern.
The MSA would be far better off making the spaces herringbone, at least these incompetents would then be in some sort of order.

Do not ask me describe what happens when earth mother (earth parent to be PC) in her massive MPV which apparently one now needs to carry one small child, attempts to fit the thing in a space, its painfull to see.
