How about making a suggestion and someone can then advise. Try to be reasonably polite.

My comment about being reasonably polite was meant for your request to the person to move

For instance, you could be rather rude and say "Hey, shift it, will ya!"

So to be very polite, you might say, "Excuse me, could I come through, please?"

Or "Pardon me, may I come past you?"

Don't give up - we all go through learning curves with language.
