Visibility

Also, how about not parking the bike so deep into the parking spot? Maybe line it up more with the tails of adjacent vehicles?

This is very important. I not only park at the outside edge of the parking spot so the bike will be spotted right away, I park at the edge of the lot where no one wants to park. Not only does the walk do me good, the bike really is noticeable and therefore less likely to be accidentally hit. It's also the place I park any vehicle I'm driving, my vehicles stay looking like new.
