When in a parking lot, I try and find a spot to back into since our truck is long due to 8' box and super cab. Could not find the rule on the internet and will need to phone someone. Besides maybe getting a fine, I don't want to get in some kind of an accident that could be blamed on the hitch sticking out. Maybe a red warning flag would be okay? :D
