Same here. Although that has become difficult on my recent RJ flights.
I have adapted seating positions where I either tuck my elbow way back in the corner and use only the rear 3-4 inches, or rest my forearms on the extended part of the rest. I like the elbow slot, but use the other if I'm not there first.
