That being said, I'm not sure about the legality of pushing someone out of the way in order to move freely-- in the case of a husband and wife, I'd be very surprised if touching her at all in that state wouldn't end up in a domestic abuse charge.

Yes, if you touch her when she is physically preventing you from leaving, you will be in one hell of a lot of trouble.
When a man that you are in a confrontational situation with pulls the ultra aggressive dick move of blocking you when you are trying to walk away, he is demanding physical action.
When your wife does it, she's doing the same thing. The difference is that she knows that it is you who will be in a lot of trouble if you get physical. It's the exact same ultra aggressive dick move, but her calculus is a little different than the man's, since the man knows that he isn't going to get to play the victim if you get physical with him. So in a way, it is even more of a dick move when a woman does it.
You seem like a guy who is man enough to walk away. But if you have a wife who is doing this dick move when you try to walk away, then there is a chance that you are going to be in a lot of trouble some day, because your wife is not letting you walk away when you know that you need to.
You really do need to talk with her about that, and try to get her to understand that she shouldn't be using the dick move.
