I used to rent a plane with a sweet parking spot at Santa Monica
airport. It was a Cherokee (N8258S) that parked in the lower
southeast. It was parked with the tail a few feel from a cyclone fence
and faced outwards into the taxi lane. You'd start up and taxi
straight out without having the pull the plane anywhere.

The magic part about the parking spot was putting it back. I'd taxi
down to in front of the parking spot, do a neat partial pirouette so
the plane was facing outwards, then shut down the engine. The parking
was a very slight hill, so the plane would slowly roll backwards into
its parking spot. I'd steer it as needed with the rudder, then slow it
gently with the brakes (it never got over 1mph) when it was about time
to stop. The wheels would drop down into the slight depression in the
asphalt they'd made over the years and no further brake pressue was
required. No parking brake needed, no crazed runaway plane backing
into the fence, nothin'. Just sweet, non-sweaty zero-towbar parking
without needing the luxury of pull-through.

I've since moved, and the lower southeast has been turned into some
non-aviation (or at least, non-aircraft parking) area so I believe the
plane lives elsewhere in the airport now.
