With get out is it used of or from? For instance:

'Get out of my room' or 'Get out from my room' ?
 
Most commonly 'of' - so 'Get out of my room'. But sometimes a 'from' just happens to follow 'out' - so you could have, say, 'He wanted to get out from under her thumb'.

I think the phrase 'out of' itself means 'from'. If this is true, then, I think, 'from' is repetitive.
Get 'out of' my room means get(away) 'from'...So,I'd rather say get out of my room or move away from...

I think get 'out from' can be used if the speaker is not in the same place as the addressee

Jane:(on phone)hello mon, I think my roof is cracking.
Mom:Omg! What are you still doing, get out from there!

He got out from the plane and started shouting.
It's over between us,get out of my life.

Mom:Omg! What are you still doing, get out from there! "Get out of there!" would be more natural.

He got out from the plane and started shouting. "He got out of the plane..." would be more usual.
It's over between us,get out of my life.
Bhai.
 
"more natural", "more usual" .I think these expressions are a bit evasive and somewhat implicit. If you have something more academically authoritative please be kind enough to share with us. I want to learn.
Honestly, I do not think he got out of the plane sounds right. I got out of the plane is 'fine' but 'he'?
Do we conclude that 'get out from',though not particularly wrong,is a bit unconventional?

I said "more natural" and "more usual" because that is what I meant. There is no grammatical rule which applies.

Yes. In fact, if I heard "He got out from the plane." I would assume that I misheard that speaker, and they really said, "He got out from under the plane."
