Yeah its not going to slide all the way back there, flipping the lever over gets you another bit of engagement, maybe 1/8 - 1/4 inch, I forget exactly, but its not much more - if more of the teeth on that idler gear are destroyed like the 2 that are visible in your picture, you probably can't get enough engagement to make it work like new.
Why not just hold it in reverse? You're just going to wear the reverse idler (trashed anyway) and the little steel tab pinned onto the lever you flipped over... Also, in my experience they usually pop out when you change the direction of force the engine is applying to the wheels, so if you only use reverse to move the car rather than slow it down, they seem to pop out less... If that makes sense...
Hope that helps...
