I'd monitor what time they leave for school/work on Friday mornings and then this spring, plan a camping trip and notify them you were leaving that morning (No need to tell them a time). Then I'd make darn sure I was backing down that street about 5 minutes before, Zig-zagging from one side to the other, blocking both sides of the street alternately, pulling up a few feet and then starting again, getting out and looking any time I got close to something or thought I was, apologizing profusely when they finally lost their patience and came up to complain about being late, and then saying "I'm so sorry about all this. If you all would just not park on the street on these days when I'm leaving or coming home, I'd be able to just pull in the circle right there and back right in my driveway in 2-3 minutes" just as sweetly as you possibly can.
Your not the bad person then, You didn't have to resort to the Commies (HOA) to come solve your problem and start WWIII. Your just an incompetent backer of trailers who needs a lot of room and when they retell the story to their family later that night, they will likely realize it's a good idea to not have their vehicles anywhere near you and your trailer while it's going backwards.
Now, on to solving Global warming ;-)
p.s. If this doesn't work, Back into one of their cars. It will cost you a deductible but should drive the point home and may get them to quit parking on the street. Hopefully you have insurance with one of the companies that have the vanishing deductible and it won't cost you a dime.
This is also a great, creative suggestion! Although I like loose valve stems and missing radio antennas more!
