Have the DL agent escort me to the front of the line. I've seen it before and it is much better than trying to bypass a whole bunch of people on your own. Failing that, however, I would try to move up myself. Of course everyone in line is thinking "why didn't you just show up on time?" and hating you, but that's the way it is some times.
