You can't, so that situation is put in to counter for the fact that a player cannot force his/her way through two opponents standing within 3 feet of each other. If the five second count weren't applicable in this case, then a team trying to stall could just have their dribbler stand next to the sideline, and have the 4 other players stand around him.
