Eva is something you get better and better with each eva. I am also not a big fan so i usually park the ship with the airlock as close as possible to entrances, this way i can just move forward without even needing the jetpack. After you get few relics you can craft a teleporter and you won't have to eve ever again.
I don't really want to add auto brake for the suit, perhaps a keybind to auto stop but with the new heading indicator from 0.13.0 eva-ing got a lot easier, just align the heading to the entrance. Another important part is to keep in mind that the camera is at eye level so when approaching be sure to approach close to the top ceiling so that your full body can fit. Another tip is to use Q and E for rotating sideways and C and space to go up and down.
