Does anyone else hate car parks where they make you complete some sort of trial to leave again?

I went swimming yesterday and the car park at the pool 15 miles down the road is a few minutes walk from the actual pool building. You have to drive through an automatic barrier but you can't get out until you have bought a 50p token from the pool reception. The bit between parking and getting to the pool building I find hugely stressful.

It is even worse at the nearby Arndale centre as you have to park, get the lift to the ground floor, then put your ticket through a machine before you can get back out. This can be even worse if you don't have change and have to go and buy something.

Yes that would make me anxious & id avoid car parks like this, where you can't leave quick, although i know thats part of my problem, i think they are wrongly designed, such a carry on just to leave i imagine it would be hard for family's with kids,
