My initial observation

In a confined environment, I would expect the pilot to back out the way they way they came in, perhaps with ground guidance, perhaps not.
Many tight helo platforms, such as offshore platforms, the pilots back the helo up a until visual clearance, then rotate...

rotating in ground effects is just asking for problems...
