I think the turning radius of truck involved also makes a difference. I have an 02 F350 SRW, and I would guess a school bus has a better turning radius than my Ford. It is terrible. You could do a quick google to compare your turning radius to your friends Ford.
My F350 does not have the twin I-beam suspension and has a better turning radius. I believe they changed the front suspension in 2005.
I can usually get into a 34 foot or larger site. My "trick" is to go slow and be precise. I often have to pull forward a little to straighten up from the turn but the key is not to be pulling back and forth repeatedly because it's backed in wrong-long 5ers just don't move over very well in small places. If you backed in wrong, figure it out-pull out-and back it in the right way. But you probably know that better then me.
Sorry for the edit - having a problem I haven't figured out yet.
