This would only work if the dynamics were in a Dynamics context of their 
own (and then you should place the command in a \with block for the 
Dynamics context). Here, however, they live inside the Staff. Try this:

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c' {
  \override DynamicLineSpanner.padding = 5
  f d \mp f d | f\< e f e\! |
}

Best, Simon
