I know it would have been nice for me this past weekend, I found out the hard way that I can not pull into my grandma-in-law's driveway. =/

I have this problem pulling into my drive. The way I solved it is to first SLOWLY pull in the drive in reverse and at a fairly steep angle (about 45 degrees). The end of my drive has a slight rise of its edges at the entrance of the drive. When I do the backing in at an angle I try to get the passenger wheel to pass onto the passenger driveway rise while the driver wheel passes over the flat portion of the drive.
This all angles the car in a way that causes the chin skirt under the front bumper to JUST clear the drive without scraping. Once the car is entirely in the drive I then straighten the car up as I back up to the top of the drive.
Its like running up a hill...you can either run the hill straight on and feel the full effect of the angled incline or you can run in a zig-zag up the hill which cuts the incline angle in half as you run.
