Yes I know the sequence you describe.

You have to wait a long time in the queue and when at the front you must repeatedly press the spacebar (jump) and e (use) key. This doesnt work all the time so you can try activating the machine by its light sensor with the flashlight. I saw a friend do it by picking up the can dropped by the bin and keeping it in your hands until you are the front of the queue.

For as far as i know in HL2 you never have to get a meal, just walk further and you'll get locked up with a good friend

No, that is before the meal section. After you chat with Barney and the Dr you get back into the station and specifically the arrivals hall. If you queue up you get a meal from the machine. It has a light sensor and a meal which is activated by jumping up and down on the spot and tapping the use key repeatedly for 10 minutes.

I'm wondering why you are queuing for a meal. I've played HL2 a few times and I don't remember having to do this. In the first few minutes of the game you just keep moving and after you meet Barney and the Professor, you keep running.
Forget about eating - go hungry and enjoy the game.

If you pickup the meal another door opens, you can hear the latch noise just after the machine pops out the tray. When you walk through it it loads the next level without having to run through the apartments and rooftops so you start off near the lift with Alex.

I'll even try that sometime

I remember the first time I did it. I had the bloom mod installed and the door had excellent lighting and I thought I had found an uber-secret! From then on in I stopped off at every machine throughout the entire game to see what would happen. There is one near the final sequence and if you do it right the person in the 'capsule' says something quite funny in relation to the initial black mesa incident that you wouldnt hear otherwise. You can find the sound file in the SDK if you look carefully.
