You could do a 1-way qualifying cross country without having to leave the airplane there. How about an Angel or Lifeline flight where you are solo in one direction and have a passenger in the other? There are probably plenty of other examples.

And for the night cross country can you use you're IFR long cross country if it was done at night? Or can you use it since some of it was simulated instrument?

There are elements within the FAA that have interpreted the "VFR" in the commercial dual to mean not only "visual flight rules" but "visual flight" so a flight with anything more than incidental hood work (if even that) would not qualify. BTW, if you look the FAA's proposed revisions to Part 61, you would see, that this is one of the things that the FAA is changing - specifially allowing the commercial cross country duals to be VFR or IFR.
