head in
1. To prepare to enter some place or thing. I'm going to head in now—it's gotten quite chilly out here. Lunch is almost over, so why don't we head in? Ugh, it's such a beautiful day, I don't want to head in! All that's waiting for me in there are spreadsheets under fluorescent lighting!
2. To start moving the front end or part of something into some thing or place. If you head in carefully, I don't think you'll hit the cars on either side of the parking space. Of course I didn't realize the curb jutted out like that—I thought I could head in safely! I hate parallel parking. I can never gauge when I'm supposed to head into the space.
