Easyjet use a window seat

Easyjet seem to use, for the first disabled passenger group to board, the front right window seat which is easier to get into and has more legroom, and is not classed as an exit row because their high-density configuration (on an A319) has a bulkhead in front of the seat. The front right aisle seat is an exit row seat so that position can only be used by someone who is suitable for an exit row.
Not all seat and galley aircraft layouts have this possibility.
The crew do have to balance the problems of getting past the disabled person, compared with the disabled person finding it difficult or impossible to get into a non-aisle seat.
