My thinking exactly, about the getting into the suit, i mean. If you look when Rhodey was taking the core out of the MKII, you can see that it actually recedes quite deep in the suit. It was designed for Tony, because his RT is embedded inside the chest, where the chestplate would clamp over his chest. So there should have been no way Rhodey would have been able to get into the suit, unless he has a superpower to shift his bones and organs around and compress his chest cavity.
And another thing... i know this is a movie and all, so normal thinking, physics, and biology do not apply, but it gnaws at me. Every time you see Tony with the chestpiece outside his body, you'll see a metal wall inside his chest. And in the first movie, he said that there were wires inside. It's not possible to have a metal cylindrical object so deep inside a person's chest... it goes pass his ribs. From the looks of all his RTs, they go in about a quarter of his chest. Yinsen must have been one hell of a surgeon.
RT, Repulsor Transmiter, is not an Arc Reactor. Rhodey removed the Arc Reactor from Mk.2 not a RT. The suits Tony wore has chest RT (fire repulsor blast), no one wearing suits or drones has fired chest RT yet in the 2 movies (actually only Rhodey in Mk.2 & WM, is equip with RTs, palms and feet. not the chest though). If I remembered correctly, in the first movie, Tony's Chest RT powered up only after the Mk.3 suit was almost completely assembled (Same with Mk.5, the chest RT powered up later).
You'll be surprise how deep a person's sternum can go into the chest, a condition called Pectus excavatum, a person in most cases still lead a normal life.
