I have sat in exit row seats for LH, (as UA1K) but this situation was a little different. My wife and I checked in to a UA international flight (at SFO) connecting to a LH inter european flight. We were given boarding cards for both flights. We didn't ask for exit rows, and we were plesantly surprised when we boarded our LH flight and found us in a nice roomy exit!

So the bottom line is that you CAN sit in an exit row without being a LH premier, but getting LH to put you there might be a different story...
