I'm 6'6" and I just watch for the guy to reach for the recline button and since my knees are already against the seat I just tense up and hold it. The guy will usually try for a minute and then give up. There is absolutely NO WAY someone in front of me is ever going to recline their seat. But I don't recline mine either...sort of a penance I guess!
