I was military police in Germany for a few months and the one useful thing I learned there is that when you help another car to always protect yourself with their car or your own. So always park behind the stopped car and avoid being in direct line of traffic.

That's police training in the US too.
Also, in confrontations where you are outnumbered, keep one of the suspects between you and the rest. Discourages anybody taking a shot at you when their friend/accomplice is in the line of fire.

This is fairly standard martial arts strategy when fighting multiple attackers as well. If you're fighting two people and keep one of them between you and the other, then it's just a one-on-one fight.

If you watch martial arts movies you should know that the attackers wait in line and only attack once the previous one has gotten a beating :). They never attack at the same time.

People with good tactical awareness make sure they never face more then one opponent at the same time. They survive to tell the tale. Down the line mediocre movie makers recreate the situation in a contrived way. Rinse repeat. Eventually the whole thing is a simulacrum. You're expecting a classic kung-fu movie battle, and that's what you get.
