Needless to say, I am even more obsessed with this lately since I'm driving a new car (2 months now). Anyway, I quickly figured out that you can use the tilt-down windows to check if you are well inside the lines--better than my old method of opening the door and, sometimes, having to get out and walk around to the other side of the car.
One caveat: don't forget to shift from R to P once you are done checking!

I am not too different. Always look for the end spot, pillars on both sides, or across the line a bit so that the car is most distant from the car next to it.

I also park next to the BWM and Mercedes and not next to the 20 year old junker's or MINI VAN"S
