So I suggest the sideways trick is redundant and unnecessary - unless of course, the problem is a lack of headroom outboard. Which may well be the case. I'm sure you'll inform me on that.
OK. Quite simply, when you look at an airliner from the front, it’s round, not square. When you look at it from on top, it’s narrower at the front. The manufacturers haven’t just arranged for inboard access for sh1ts and giggles.
