But going backwards means you can more easily line up in the space as you have more control over your angle.
Like parallel parking is essier when reversing as you dont need to correct once in the space. Just 45 degree to the kerb and straighten up and you are in. Going forward parallel parking takes loads of correction or needs a really big gap to fit in to.
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.
