For the record I've always thought that parking like this is fine, especially when following rule #1: keep it far and out of the way. I'll park at the very back unused part of a parking lot (or in this case the bottom) for the extra space. For reference co-worker in the mazda does the same thing there is nobody else on that floor.
Edit: added parking at costco, our local costco's parking spots aren't much bigger maybe a foot off standard californian, but they are about 10 feet long im parked to the front of the stall. Again on the other side of the parking lot.
