I've seen the aisle chairs used to take people many rows back, I would guess the "convenient" placement you speak of is the first rows, and I would also guess your then asking whomever seat that was to take yours, no thanks.

Book early, pick your seat, if thats not possible work with the GA to figure it out before boarding.
