Getting into cars
Sometimes I have trouble getting into cars in dire situations. The area you need to stand in is just really weird. Is there some sort of trick? Seems very janky at the moment, needs work :/

Your person still has to walk to the car so it's not any quicker, but if you're having a difficult time lining up with the doors this might work better for you.

Look at the car and don't panic spam 'e' or you will get in and back out.
After some practice it gets easier.

That's quite normal in isometric view. Distances might be hard to estimate sometimes depending on the angle of the car.

I would recommend to either park the car horizontally, so that you can see the door better or to just luring the zombies away before trying to enter it. It's often better to retreat and to make a plan before just panicking into a situation, where you can't escape from anymore.

Yes, this is really good advice. Been in that scenario before

This may be the best workaround for now, thanks!
