Going for pull-through parking is another example of where hypermiling and defensive driving tactics overlap.
It was in the curriculum I taught when I was an instructor. From a strictly defensive perspective, the key concern is avoiding situations where you have to reverse into a flow of traffic. So we taught choosing a pull-through spot, where possible. If none are available, reverse into your spot (and that again goes along with good ecodriving, since you're doing the manoevering while the car is warmed up).
