Follow your polite 'Excuse me' with a neutral 'Can you please step out of the way' followed, if needed, by a sharp 'I have to be where you stand now'.
If that does not work, get rude and push.

When leaving trains I will never ask, I just walk out.
Elbows out if there is not enough space for two people at a time, everybody traveling in trains in the western world should know not to block the exit out of the train. And aiming (if not too harsh) for body parts of those who stand in front of doors.
If carrying a bag on a shoulder strap that will be in the same position, elbow to middle of the body.
(But I am a rude Dutch person who does not appreciate being stuck in a train while people crowd and block the exits and I only do it where I know the local habit and know that blocking train exits is frowned on by everybody when they it is their time to leave a train.)

While a group of people may be more of the problem in some places, it is certainly not restricted to those people notnor to that location.
It is more distinct where cultures clash more.

English people in the Netherlands have long been complaining about the crowds blocking the train and bus doors. All countries with big immigrant streams will have some trouble with some of the groups not following the same code of polite behavior. And it is not always the immigrants who are the impolite ones, as you can see from my sample of English in the Netherlands.
