Wow, what you describe isn't a line. In each row, once two people have stood up in the aisle, there's no more room in the aisle for the other two or four people from that row to occupy unless they have absolutely no self-awareness nor respect for others' personal space.

Not only that, but the OP's scenario is on a turbo prop. If you're a little taller than average, you'd have to be nuts to want to stand up before the door opens -- the ceiling is so low you have to duck your head to stand.
