It's expected to move your seat full forward on the Airbus copilot side so you can get your overnight bag into position.
It was the same on the 737 when we used to carry flight kits- it was much nicer to be able to walk in and toss your flight kit into position with the seat full forward.
I'm aware of this practice on several aircraft types - my comment has always been whether doing this represents a best practice safety-wise. Granted, it's unlikely (but then again, so are many of the other scenarios we prep for) - but what if someone needs to get in the seat and set the brakes NOW because the aircraft is rolling (say someone pulled the chocks for some reason)? It's happened, and having to move the seat to gain access to the brakes seems to be a poor practice to me.
Feel free to nominate me for TOTD if I'm being to OCD over this, but I've always left the seats aft and outboard for exactly this reason.
