Default Warming up on an incline

My driveway is on about a 15-20 degree incline. When warming up my cold engine (Hemi), is there a preference to whether I'm pulled in forward or backed in? I think that the oil pan is deep enough that it don't matter. It will be below freezing every morning for the next few months here in Oregon.

Your opinion?

Nah, it shouldn't matter. If it were me, I'd prefer to park nose facing down. Just makes getting in/out so much easier!

That shouldn't be enough of a slope to matter but if i had to pick I would pull in forward, so that way the oil was going to the back of the pan where the oil pan is at its lowest point. Thats where it draws the oil from inside of the pan.
