So appallingly obvious that even Dick Emery and Benny Hill shied away from it.
 
Who abused it the most? Zep or Purp?
 
 
 
 
 
 
(note: I'm only including the option 'other' out of morbid curiosity)

Obviously Led Zep (when did Purple use it?) "I wanna be your back door man". Nearly as subtle as "squeeze me babe till the juice runs down my leg" or the whole of "Custard Pie".

Purple wins because as well as "knocking on your back door", they use the phrase "cunning linguist" - in the same song!
"The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar.... Now, that's my idea of a good time."

I haven't heard that Purple song. We should also praise Caravan for naming an album "Cunning Stunts".

Marillion have a back door lyric in a song on Brave, but I don't think it can be construed this way.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

From Aerosmith's Rag Doll - You're so fine they'll never see ya leavin' by the back door, man. 
 
Although I don't believe that this would be the use that you were looking for.

Originally written by Wille Dixon for Howlin' Wolf in 1961 but I only know The Doors version:
 
Yeah, I'm a back door man
I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girl understand

Hey, all you people that tryin' to sleep
I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah
'Cause I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girls understand
All right, yeah

You men eat your dinner
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah

I'm a back door man, wha
The men don't know
But the little girl understand

Well, I'm a back door man
I'm a back door man
Whoa, baby, I'm a back door man
The men don't know
But the little girls understand

I'm fairly certain AC/DC had some 'back door' lyrics in there somewhere, maybe on TNT?

It's one of Deep Purple's best "later" songs together with the title track of that album, Perfect Strangers. It's about 7 min, I think. If you like the band you should better find out a sample of it, of course, if you're interested, just commenting.

Ain't there also some back door referencing in "Since I Been Lovin' Yoo?"

Has anyone checked for its inclusion on the repugnantly named 'Whitesnake' and their equally repugnantly titled 'Slide It In' album ? (A veritable milestone in gender politics to be sure)
