Similar for me, get in car, belt up, foot on brake, start car, select reverse, release handbrake, reverse out of garage, press 'close garage door' button, drive off!
So much easier
I do however always leave the wife's car out of gear as I know she never uses such a ritual although she main learn as her current vehicle, you can't start without the clutch fully pressed in!
Where we used to live, we did have a 'parked car' try to get through the wall of our house, but fortunately a 150yr old house was much much stronger than an old Citroen (aren't most things).
