Where I used to work this would happen occasionally in our parking lots. We would generally pay for the car's repair if the person complained to us.
I recall one little BMW 3-series, barely pulled the plastic bumper part out, total estimate ended up being in excess of $700. WOW.

I just guesstimate the distance and "park short" like jlmounce said
Sometimes I'll be a bit off and leave a gap of 6-12 inches or so. For some reason, it's really hard for me to see over the power dome and I can never gauge the distance correctly, so I just play it safe

This. Pulling into a space, I am accurate to about 18" as far as depth. Backing into a space, between the sensors and the cam, I am accurate to about 2". I can literally see 9x better out the rear than I can out the front. Kinda sad.

I lowered my 95 w/Pro-Kits. Then bought a 96-98 Cobra fr bumper w/added lip. It made it very low to the ground! I couldn't go over anything!! When I had to drive over dips, I had to take @ an insane angle. Just learned how to drive this way. Still drive this way in my 11. I won't lower it. Just used to not really needing to, kinda like it.

Me too. I don't know why, but I find it hard to judge exactly where the front of this car is in relation to parking stripes and concrete bumper. I'm thinking of lowering my car an inch next year so I always try to stay back from the concrete bumper, just to condition myself.
