It depends. My standard play is to go in forward, but if it's tight, I might have to back it in.

I don't understand. It's easier to back out into a big open space than to back into a small tight space.

The answer depends on the space between the 'aisles' of cars - not the width of the space between two individual cars.

If you back in you can approach at a better angle than if you go head in.

I'm talking when it's too tight to pull in forward without prairie dogging it.

I was the OP of this comment; my point was that for most people driving forward is easier than driving backwards. So for these people it'd be better to park forward than to park backwards.

You have more "rear" mobility (rear being front) when you're backing up. The guy who mentioned forklifts is correct. That's why it's a little easier to position yourself going backward.

That said, I park forward about 99% of the time.
