How to get on-site parking at our house

We have a house with a very narrow driveway. It is sufficient to drive a car down, but you can't open the doors to get out on the driveway, and reversing back out using mirrors etc is very hard (ie if you did it 14 times a week I suspect that you would end up with a scrape on at least one occassion).
We are keen to be able to park two cars on site due to the limited street parking, but are uncertain how to achieve this.The two options appear to be using the driveway to build a carport down the back (but this is not viable due to the reversing difficulties), or alternatively having parking space on the front lawn by enlarging the driveway at the front (but this would be hard to do without spoiling the look of the house).
I was wondering what people's thoughts were in relation to this and if anyone had any suggestions?
