Your first sentence is basically my thought process too. If getting out is going to be more of a pain, because of traffic or a tight spot, I'll reverse. But if there's lots of cars waiting or I'm running late when parking I'll always go for a forward park if I can.

I'm usually more tired and anxious at the end of a drive than the start so I prefer to make life easy for myself.

That was exactly it - it would have been more of a hassle to reverse out, given the pillar, the van on the other side and the local Karen population driving around in their SUVs on their mobiles.
Only downside was I would have liked to use the hatch but the back seat did just as well.
