I have always driven side-entry. As a rule, if I do not have enough of the yellow cross-hash space next to my van, then I'll go take two "regular" spots by parking diagonal across both. Other tricks include bringing a orange cone with you to block a spot and using non-moving objects in the parking lot to secure more room.
Have I been approached by the law or business owners? Yes, and I tell them to go tow offenders, make the van spots bigger, or increase the number of spots to ADA specs.

I don't drive my wife does........We used to have a big Dodge Ram van with side entry--It was a drag because everywhere we went people would park right up against us blocking me from getting loaded>>>even with signs saying wheelchair lift stay clear! Now we got a chevy astro mini van with rear entry...I back in and drive out---either way quickly . Now if a quad is driving not sure how good rear entry is for the driver, Some quad drivers may have opinions here on that.
