The Saskatchewan Driver's Handbook has recommended backing into spots for many years now, but I see very few people actually doing it. I know that some of it is inertia, but I suspect from conversations that it's not often taught in Driver Ed (mostly a school program) or tested during road tests.
Something that might contribute to the problem is that block heaters are typically plugged in from the front and are also typically plugged in with short cords that are easier to handle in cold weather.
