[@Palgrave]

It's a psychological effect. By leaving her with access to the door and cornering himself, he puts her at ease. If he stood in front of the door, her brain interprets it as cutting off her means of escape, and it would make her nervous. An advanced management technique you learn in a restaurant, although it's mostly used to de-escalate angry customers.
