Was it on a business class or coach ticket?
Everytime I fly on WBC segment and then connect to a single class KLM intra-european flight, I was able to get seat assignment in advance (in the so-called preferrred section).
However when I am booked on coach ticket, then no luck. Standard "It's not possible" answer and had to wait to be in AMS to get my seat assignment.
