We saw the exact same type of parking assist, while stationed in Japan in the early 80's. Honda has a great festival where their engineers do wild things with their cars, or small motors.
One engineer rigged the spare tire, mounted under the trunk of an Accord sized car, to drop down, engage the pavement, and had an electric motor to spin the rear of the vehicle 360 degrees, pivoting on the front wheels. Nose into parking spot, drop wheel and spin. Parked on a dime, or at least Honda sized spot.
Time to vote.

For those situations, I'd opt for a bigger bumper on the truck and a note
left on the windshield.
