Then, once it's out on the street, it needs to be backed out enough to turn 90 degrees to nose into the trailer.

What you need is a muffler you can temporarily install on the end of your pipe.
Have a muffler shop make up a very quiet muffler with a length of pipe on one end... with the end of that pipe expanded so you can slide and tap it right onto the end of your tailpipe, then cinch it up with a muffler clamp.
Also have the muffler shop put a bend in the pipe so the muffler points straight up so you don't have space issues... if your tailpipe is at the rear, that will also keep it from dragging/hitting the pavement when you pull it up onto the trailer.
It would look stupid, but it would totally free up your situation, and you could easily remove it once you get the car trailered.
If this doesn't make sense, I'll draw you a picture.
