I’d want my daughter to see that when dealing with difficult adults (whom you don’t know, and therefore have no responsiblility or ability to change), it’s usually best to let them have it their way, if possible.

So either (as HaLeivi said) you could have asked her to take your seat, and you’d sit between her and your daughter.

Or, if she still refused, I’d put my daughter on MY lap.

Look, she’s obviously got issues. Why play along? Try to handle it gracefully and respectfully.

Personally, I think it’s quite rude to put your daughter on her lap. Of course, she was rude for not budging, but why stoop to her level? I’d even wish her a freilichen purim before leaving.
