Who is at fault if you were driving in a private lot and someone in a parking spot backed into you and you thought you were stopped but the person who was hit said you were in reverse?

The unfortunate thing about accidents in parking lots is that they are usually deemed 50/50 fault in most cases, without consideration of the facts. Your best bet is to have a witness, video surveillance, or security staff who witnessed the incident to testify in writing on your behalf if you truly believe you are not At Fault. Your insurer will have no choice but to ammend your policy to reflect as such.
