I used to do this, then I had my car keys stolen and I ended up having to change the locks on the house, the side gate, the shed and my parents house too. Now they're separate.
I did something like this last year, here's the write-up on fixing it: https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/bent-my-wing-mirror-forward-can-i-fix-it.394963/
Unless they've changed the mechanism, there's no way the car can move the mirrors into that position on its own. I wonder if someone did...
In that picture, I've already managed to correct it, so what you're looking at there is the back of the mirror, when it's in the folded in position. So, in the incident, the mirror had been forced beyond the stopper lugs so that they were effectively working the wrong way around. The red arrow...
It turns out that the 'pole' that they rotate around has two lugs on it at the top, sticking out. One is facing away from the car, one on the other side facing inwards. These lugs appear to be what stops the door mirror from going round and round forever, presumably when the motor feels the...

Cheers guys. I've given it quite a lot of force now and it's not budging. I'm gonna try and take it apart at the weekend. Yeah, hopefully it won't need replacing.
Reversing off the drive in a hurry yesterday and my door mirror caught the gatepost, so it's bent it all the way forward. So the mirror bit is now facing away from the car. I can't see any actual damage though. Anyone happen to know whether it's just a case of forcing it back again? I've tried...
I'd love to get adaptive cruise retro fitted to my PFL. I even considered switching to the FL largely to pick one up with adaptive cruise, but it's so very very rarely specced because it's expensive. Yet it's on loads of Golfs because VW don't charge much for it. Grr..
