Coat Hooks are as analogous to parallel parking as Angled Hanging would be to angled parking-spaces, as conventional clothes closets is to conventional parking spaces.
So, has anyone heard of the concept of Angled Hanging in entry-foyers which are too narrow to accommodate conventional coat closets, yet wide enough to accommodate angled-hanging closets?
If not, why angled parking yet no angled hanging?
Are you just talking about bending your hangars? Sounds workable to me.
Not entirely sure if this is a joke, but assuming it isn’t, then angled hanging hangers would seem to be prone to tangling. As you pulled out a coat, the angled-in coat’s shoulder would hit against the angled out shoulder of the shirt in front of it. The person getting the coat would have to snake it out at an angle, and snake it back in in a reverse manner. Kind of a pain.
None the less, one ‘angled’ solution I have seen is to install several short metal square tubes (mounted across the closet’s back wall in a horizontal line). Each tube slopes foward and down toward the closet door, with several pegs to hold the hanger hooks). This doesn’t seem all that much better to me, as the person still has to snake the coat out.
Perhaps my Q was farfetched, & I’m not exactly sure how it can be engineered (since I don’t know if anyone has invented same yet) but it seemed to me that just as there’s a “parallel” 
to
parallel-parking on narrow roads (in the form of coat-hooks in narrow halls), similarly there might have been a
parallel to angled parking - in the form of angled hanging.
Perhaps angled hooks can be designed which jut out sufficiently (& equidistant to each other with sufficient space not to interfere with each other) while also accomodating hangers.
BTW, it would also be nice if there were quilt-storage hangers (sturdy enough to accommodate heavy-down quilts for winter storage). I’m talking generally about plastic tubular hangers, except sturdier & approx. 17" wide. Also it should be squarish (vs. acute angles at each end) so as to accommodate a very thick, draped, blanket. I’d find such hangers useful as an alternative to under-the-bed quilt-storage.
