To couple at the front or back of the engine you are driving you face the engine the correct way at a turntable or Y.
To couple to the front or the back of another consist you approach that consist from the appropriate direction. This might involve first navigating to a trackmark placed near that end of the consist.
It was really a bad question. We ask for as much reality as we can get so looking to the computer to circumvent reality is really dumb. The program can do too much. Then, of course, we will complain that the simulation is not real. Thanks....
This is one way of doing what you require. Have the consist your driving stop at a pre-assigned trackmark. Also place a Trigger which has been setup to trigger another loco to drive to and couple to the end of your consist.

A consist arrives to a station and is instructed to decouple the loco, and drive it to a trackmark (a siding or loco storage track). This isolated loco triggers, upon arriving there another loco to go and couple the waiting cars. I do this at a place where electrics ends and diesels continue. Fully automatic works all the time. And you can couple to the waiting cars at whatever end you require, depending if this is a terminus or pass station. Also, doing this, you don't run into the problem of coupling an engine to the other end while the first loco is still coupled (may cause unexpected problems).
