I would suggest for every 5-10 ft you back up, pull back forward 1/2 the distance getting your vehicle and 5ver more into a straight line. Each time you pull forward you are making the angle less sharp.
That's exactly what we do - and it really works. We watched our neighbor who offered to back it in for us the first time. He considers himself an expert and he must be because he backs his fiver around a corner with a fire hydrant on one side of the curve and he does fine. Anyway, he does this too - backs, stops, looks, forward, backs, stops, looks, forward (if necessary), back, stops looks. He gets in every time without a problem. Take your time.
