i am an aisle person and i will always (n.b. always) stand up and get of the way to allow a m/w pax to get out and i do it for 2 reasons....
- i think it's the polite thing to do as there is no reason for the pax to try and become a contortionist
- with my evil ter'wrist orthopedic shoe 'n orthotic left ankle, the last thing i would need is the aforementioned contortionist doing a number on my ankle as they contortioned over me
