Narrow driveway, narrow stalls, stationary obstacles

Here is the Toyota Corolla that we use.  Most parking in Japan is done with backing into stalls.  The parking spot at the apartment that we have been assigned is right next to a concrete wall.  On the other side of the car is a black car, which is almost always there.  So that means I always have to back into between 2 stationary objects, which I hope I can keep stationary.  In front of our parked car, smack dab in the middle, is the pillar that you see in the 2nd photo.  So I always have to pull into either side of the pillar and then back, snaking around the pillar and between the black car and concrete wall.  It's not too bad when there is no cars on any one side of the pillar.  However, if I come back in the evening, then most likely both stalls next to the pillar will be occupied by vehicles and it is really hard to see the concrete wall.  I have talked to the apartment manager (i.e. Sister Lee has talked), no way I can speak and explain this in Japanese.  Anyway they will install some reflectors so I can see the corner of the wall when backing up.  If you noticed, the side mirrors on the Corolla is withdrawn.  I love that capability to allow more room to walk around the car.  Too bad our car is older model.  The van that I rented will automatically close the mirrors when you turn off the car, but our car, you have to push a button to open or close.  I often forget to push that button.
