It's about physics and safety. You can maneuver a long wheel based vehicle better into a parking spot by reversing. When your first move leaving is forward you have a better understanding of your vehicle's surroundings. Are you more likely to reverse over a small child or run over a small child in front of your vehicle when leaving a parking spot?

Maybe it is a car thing, but it is also easier to do a quick check up and down the lane as your are getting into your car to see if any one is about to start walking/driving down the lane.

You know, I have always been annoyed by reverse parkers but this makes a lot of sense. Learn something new everyday.
