Well here's NM Last Stand, sped up 2x (also in the Last Stand article).

You notice I stay half a screen away from the pods and nest, whatever I'm currently attacking? That I'm not in between a pod and the nest? If spitters come out, don't just stand there, keep firing and moving. If your teammates aren't helping, and you don't have enough offense to silence those zombies, then bring them to your teammates and let them help out.

And I'd say a majority of teammates won't listen. People aren't going to take orders. So you must act accordingly based on human behavior. Cause and effect. You want to get healed but the medic isn't not healing anyone but himself? And asking him failed? Get him hurt and steal his medkits. Or get him killed if he has that one self explosion skill. A heavy who has high resists/defense/health and that's all he has? He's now the best barrier in the game against zombies. Reckless, fragile assault who keeps rushing in? Follow him and cover him, giving him some confidence, and then let him get killed if the situation calls for it. You want your teammates to help you kill those zombies? Lure them towards your teammates, they'll either fire at them or they'll die.

Even though multiplayer games are by definition team games, you gotta depend on yourself and see your teammates as assets, and must learn how to use them. Also you can work on your map awarenes, because I have no idea what you mean by not having enough space if spitters attack from pods. Unless you're like lvl 35. Then just keep playing you'll learn these things over time.
