So it's my first year, and I'm curious how difficult is it trying to leave when all is said and done? On average how long does it take to get out of the park (with lines, traffic, people and what not)? I'm asking because I have to be at work Monday afternoon/evening and so does my husband. Its only a 5 hours drive to where we live, but I would like to get a good nights sleep/good power nap so I'm not a total zombie at work. Is it better to leave Monday? Sunday night/morning (after the last set)? Or are we in for long lines and lots of waiting no matter what?

It's hard to answer this question because it all depends on where you camp. If your in the middle of a feild and packed in like sardins, then Monday might be the best option.
In '07 we were in pretty deep and on sunday we sat in our car from 7pm untill around 1am just to get to Bushy Branch to leave. From campsite to highway in 6 hours.
In '08 we were in a very loosly packed site and could had left Sunday but got a good nights sleep and left Monday morning. From campsite to highway in 2 minutes.
In '09 again we were in a spread out site and were able to leave Sunday. From site to highway in about 10 minutes.

Leave Monday morning. You'll have no problems. Sunday night may be tough or it could be really easy because a lot of people leave before the Sunday headliner.

I drove about 4 hours home last year after the Phish set Sunday night. I kept nodding off on the drive home because I was exhausted from the weekend. I got home and then basically slept until Tuesday morning. Do not underestimate how tired you will be Sunday night. I'm leaving Monday this year after a decent night's sleep.
