I very rarely do not snag an exit or bulkhead seat.
Some advice that is intermittently given is that if you have a middle seat assignment, you should clear it and not have an assigned seat. The theory is that it forces the gate to assign you a seat and you can't do any worse than what you already have. It could however put you at risk of a bump.

How can a single aisle 757 be quicker to get on/off than a twin aisle 767?
