Admittedly, I don’t map a lot of residential driveways (because most residential in Suburban Japan has no sidewalks), AND I do not use OSM for routing, but wouldn’t a footway linking your building to your driveway solve this? 

When I map retail buildings and I know where the doors are, I map the entrance and add the mappable footway to the entrance node from the parking driveway. 

Would doing the same for your location solve a routing problem?
