If you've ever sat in the back row of a large single aisle aircraft, and had to spend 20 minutes watching over 100 feeble-minded passengers in the rows ahead of you attempt to extract their carry-on baggage from the overheads, and finally manage to shuffle down the aisle to the exit, you'd agree that these people are not someone you would want to rely on to quickly and safely exit the aircraft ahead of you during a emergency situation.

Your best option is to get a seat as close as possible to an emergency exit. There is no way to prevent the typical commercial aircraft passenger from doing something stupid.
