You can't get out of your seat! Once you're in, you're in! That's how BA save money on toilet cleaning and that's how the crew keep the passengers nice and tidy in the cabin...
Seriously, it's the SAME principle as the current one. If you're in the middle or the window seat, you either walk in front of the passenger in the aisle, or you climb over their footrest! (if they're asleep or lying flat)
Which is no different than a window or middle seat in a convential cabin, except for the fact that in the latter, your bottom would be in the face of the customer on the aisle seat as you walk pass them.

Instructions for stepping over a Club World foot-rest:
1. Place your hand furthest from the occupant of the foot-rest on the rim of the seat in front of the foot-rest (this may be 'behind' the foot-rest if the occupant is facing aft).
2. Taking care not to make contact with the occupant of the seat+footrest, lift your foot that is opposite to your hand in (1) above, and place it on the floor-space of your own seat.
3. With your opposit hand to that in (1) above, take a firm hold of the rim of the seat in front of your own seat (i.e. the seat that you have in front of you when you are seated).
4. Transfer your weight to your foot in (2) above, release your hold of the seat in (1) above, and lift your other foot over and into your seat's floor-space.
5. You may now sit down.
To exit from your seat, simply repeat the same technique, in reverse.
If you are worried about this procedure, then you can practice it at home by placing two dining chairs beside each other but slightly offset, such that their seats represent the foot-rests, and their backs represent the rims of the seats in front of the foot-rests. Obviously these seats will be higher than the Club World foot-rests, but that means the procedure will be much easier once onboard your aircraft.
If you have an aisle seat, then the procedure is rather more straightforward - you simply step in, and sit down!

It also helps if you are well aversed in the art of Twister... Maybe BA could put coloured dots in various places so that you can extracate yourself, or alternatively explore the possibility of adding an 'at seat commode' to all window seats!
