or in some cases, impossible...
when i got my snows installed (on a separate set of rims), it took
2 trips to get all the rims and tires to the place.  coming back
home, i was able to load the 4 now-mounted tires/wheels into the car
as you describe, but realized that i couldn't shift into reverse.
naturally, i had parked nose-in and _had_ to back out :-)
so i unloaded the tires, moved the car, then repacked everything
and drove on home.  *sigh*
