My husband is 6'7", so reclining airplane seats are a problem for him, too. If his knees aren't jammed up there already, he simply puts his knee into the back of the seat to keep it from coming back at all. Usually they think the seat is broken.

But he got a lesson in being tall last week, when he got to ride on the same plane with the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team. It's not often he gets to look up to anyone. He was a little chagrined that the short coaches all took the exit rows--but hey, those players were only 20ish! They can squeeze better than he can.
