I think the system was designed to parellel park (parking head to tail bewteen 2 cars next to the sidewalk) not these conventional supermarket/mall/structure parking spaces. If you can't drive into these normal parking spaces you don't deserve to drive period.
and just to answer your question, it does back up parking as well...
