Not sure it is a "problem". More of a feature.

You have set up a ACD or UCD, which is what most people want, so that 
calls get distributed more or less equally across a group .
Especially in a sales environment, commissioned sales people would raise 
the roof on what you want. They want equal shots at incoming calls.
Can one person be taken out of the list on demand, in case they go to 
lunch or have to take a leak?

What you really want is a circular hunt group ( of stations ) , but in a 
circular hunt, if all stations are busy, the caller will still hear ring 
until one ( station ) is free.
A terminal hunt will ring up the list until all are busy, then you 
either need to return busy or  perhaps go to a VM box?
Sorry I don't have an answer for you.
Are there different types of "queues" or hunt groups that you can define?
