Joseph A a reverse parking You may need to wait for a speaker of BrE to help you on this one. As an American I've never heard of a reverse parking. We say, "Back into that parking space".

Still, "do", "carry out", and "perform" do all get the same point across. (Personally, I would not use "carry out", though it's not wrong.)
