A controller (200) comprising input means (230) for receiving an environment signal indicative of a feature in a vicinity of a vehicle 110, output means (240) for outputting a manoeuvre signal to cause the vehicle to perform a defined manoeuvre to a completed position, and control means (210) arranged to control the output means in dependence on the environment signal to cause a vehicle wheel 180 in the completed position to be angularly offset with respect to a feature in the vicinity of the vehicle. The wheel may be offset with respect to the feature at a predetermined angle, the vehicle may be caused to have a cramped wheel configuration, the feature may be a kerb with the wheel being angularly offset towards the kerb, the manoeuvre may be a parking manoeuvre, and the wheel angle may be offset in dependence upon an inclination of the vehicle such that the wheels are turned towards the kerb when parking on an incline.
