Glad its not just me! I've always delt with it in the ways solarice said.
every micra has this problem.
basically the pipe to the fuel tank goes around the inside of the wheel arch towards the front end of the car.
push the petrol flap as far open as possible. if you are using the little holder inside the petrol flap to hold the cap then take it out.
point the end of the pump at 45 degrees between the front of the car and the floor.
like this: front of the car---> /
it will fill up much easier, just don't forget your filler cap

Don't go to BP then!
I have found the at some stations you have this problem and at others it is fine. I think the older pumps the go a bit slower are better.
But these days I just put the pump in on a slight angle that seems to keep it smooth.
I remember the first time I tried to fill my car up! I only got £10 in because I couldn't figure out what was going wrong and I just got embarrassed and drove away. (paid first of course!)
