Not saying that's right or wrong, it's just how it is.
If you want to be the first person off the plane, then sit up front, otherwise you will have to wait because there's far more people who will let everybody else out first than who won't.
Trains, from my experience its not that bad. Amtrak: there isn't a massive rush to get off, and not everyone gets off at he same time. DeutscheBahn: People get their stuff and stand near the door to get off before it comes to a stop. Buses people generally bring one carry on. A bookbag or a small duffle. [Not a carryon that barely fits in the carry on limits]
