I feel the same way sometimes. Last semester I had to actually remove my front wheel and push the bike through the front of the rack to get it out because two MTB's were locked basically on top of my bike and after 20 minutes of wresting I was tired of looking like a fool. The spot was for 2 bikes and someone squeezed in a 3rd.
