So when I first arrive at a spot I can easily see the whole scene and safely back into my spot. Then when leaving I have the best visibility by pulling out going forward.

Absolutely. You have control when backing in, and good view when pulling out.
There is a Panera Bread location in my metro area which actually has signs prohibiting this, and I can't imagine why. I either park elsewhere, if I plan to be inside a while, or I ignore the signs if I'm just running in and out. The problem is that the spots with the signs are in shade for more of the day than anyplace else in the lot. Grrr.
