As with anything, it depends on the user having a grain or two of common sense*.
Several floors of a local multi-storey car park are laid out in the classic herringbone pattern.
It's simple, the bays are slanted at about 45 degrees to the centre line of the 'road', you can park with minimum of delay to queuing traffic behind, and when it's time to go reversing out automatically points you in the direction of the exit.
Unfortunately not everyone has grasped this concept. One user actually reverses into the bay.
Why burden yourself with the hassle of making a 135 degree reversing manoeuvre when you don't have to?
Equally driving out, while giving a visiblity advantage, requires a corresponding right turn of 135 degrees again.
The driving lane between opposite parking rows isn't that wide so it's likely that exiting will require, at the very least, a two stage operation.
Life puzzles me at times.
* The trouble with common sense is that it's not very common.
