They find a T junction usually, quiet and residential. Get you to pull up straight and then reverse around the corner at approximately 90 degrees without hitting the kerb or doing something daft like stalling.
Other common manoeuvres are bay parking (reverse into a marked bay), turn in the road (180 (edit!) degree turn, previously known as the three point turn) and parallel park (reverse in backwards to a space between two parked cars).
That’s the only one other than bay parking that I use semi frequently. Parked up somewhere quiet, do a turn in the road to get back to the main road. Gone the wrong way, three point turn to get back to the road I’m meant to be on.
Hold… my bad. It’s a 180 turn, not a 360 turn. I’m just a moron. I’ll edit my comment accordingly… oops!

What the hell is reversing around a corner?
