Theoretically, it was an option added an Issue or two back (being able to re-invite people into an iTrial that is)... but I have yet to see it work.
As far as joing a Trial already in progress from the Queue? I have never seen that happen either... though I have joined a Queue a few times, only to sit there for a while.
I've had the queue let me into a few trials in progress. At the time, BAF/Lam were new and frequently failed, so the in progress runs I got into were usually from slots opening up as people left failing runs. I haven't tried solo queuing in a while, it may be different now.
Hopeling nailed it. It is just about the worst implementation of the idea you can imagine. So you know how all trials have a minimum number of members? If at anytime the number in the trial drops below the minimum, people in the queue who are willing to join an in-progress trial can get in.
For example, I got into a halloween trial yesterday with 2 people stuck on the last boss. And I've gotten into a failed MO Lamda with the last three people standing around watching the timer tick down for the final minute with marauder at 100% health after everyone else quit.
What it does not do, but should, is check if there is a trial below maximum, and fit you into that one.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
but that would make too much sense
