Other sites have mentioned stepping back after kicking as an important factor (I guess the car doesn't want to hit you with the door.) I don't have problems, and I just kick straight forward (aiming for the first "O".)
 
I was about to mention that too , about 3 months ago I learned about the "kick under V and step back" motion in a YouTube video .. and I've had 100% reliability since then. (For opening and closing)
