No, not having a settled system is inefficient. If you know that the system is women-off-first, and everyone cooperates in it, you* (as a woman) are poised to hop off the elevator toot sweet as soon as the doors open. If the system is "those closest to the door get off first" then you,* as a woman, wait your turn.
In NYC, it sounds like the problem is that people simply do not clear the doorways. Shocking. This is different from there being collisions because men in the front are getting off as women in the back are rushing to clear the way for men.
And the "woman comes first" thing was a gratuitous sexual reference, silly.
*"you" meaning generic you, not you yourself.
