Use your turn signal to indicate the direction of the parking spot.

If the space is not yet vacant but the car in it is about to leave, wait behind the spot.

When the space is vacant, pull ahead of it until you have pulled up beside the car parked in front of the space. Your rear bumper should be even with that car's rear bumper with about 2 feet of road between you.

Put the car in reverse. Begin to back up slowly; as soon as the car starts moving, turn the wheel as far as it will go toward the curb.

Back slowly into the space.

When the back of your car's front door is even with the rear bumper of the car beside you, begin turning the wheel away from the curb.

Continue turning the wheel away from the curb and backing slowly into the space.

Straighten out the wheel, then pull forward or back in the space as needed to center yourself between the cars in front of and behind you. Your car should be 6 to 8 inches from the curb when you are parked.

You must study the procedure more but more importantly... practice makes perfect.

Probably a little late for this, but where I live they use barrels to mark the spot behind the license center(you park before you take the road test). When the testing isn't in session, after the place closes not just when there isn't a test, they allow anyone to use that spot to practice. So if you can get there I'd suggest just using the spot and practicing. Don't feel bad if you mess up the first time or two you try, it takes a little practice. Remember though to SIGNAL when you are to the spot and when you are done check before pulling out of the spot(they tell you to treat it like the road and they will deduct points if you don't look before you pull out) as well as putting on your turn signal.

I don't know how helpful this will be in type rather than on the road, but here it is: Pull up to the car parked forward of you until you are about a foot and a half away from it (side to side) and so that their rear bumper is about halfway down your car, like lined up with your rear passenger door. Turn the wheel all the way left and start backing. When your rear bumper is about 2/3 of the way to the curb, start turning the wheel the other way. Watch your right front bumper to be sure it clears the other car. And there you are.
