That's a good point Mr. Peckham that I haven't yet seen raised....
As for the direction of tire swingout, some arguments against swinging out the other way: (1) you're swing out into the direction of oncoming traffic when parallel parked and (2) with the crown of most roads, you'll be swinging against a bit of gravitation force (imagine not swinging hard enough & going in to grab the groceries? yeah, that'd hurt a bit).
