This sounds like a topic for a whole new thread.
If it was me, I'd just avoid the guy. Are you sure he's not flirting?
If it was someone I knew reasonably well, I might say something like, "Hey, do me a favor and give me about three inches, I get claustrophobic. Thanks man." And just leave it at that. My experience with potentially confrontational situations is, they can go either way. If you just act like it's casual and normal and shrug it off, the other person will tend to respond in kind. But then I'm not a guy, maybe it's different.
