In my previous house the mailman turned around every single day as well...I was at the end of a dead end road.The mailman turns around in my driveway every single day. Except Sunday.
I'm quite certain within so many feet of the road is considered public property...and I am guessing that includes your driveway. I'm guessing if you just used a car length or less of the end of a driveway, there isn't anything a home owner could do about it. I know I could not even build a fence/gate that close to a road when I lived in the country so as to allow county vehicles room.
I doubt it is illegal trespassing in this instance.
Just looked it up...In Iowa the state/county owns AT LEAST 33 feet to each side from the center of the road.
