I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

    When reversing into a space it can be easier to turn away from it first. So as you approach turn towards it and then just as the front of you car gets to it or just past it turn away from it so the back of you car is now pointing towards the space. Most cars following slow down because it takes them a second to realise what you are doing and it makes the angle you need to reverse it much smaller.
