Most aircraft have an engine "reverser" function, which would propel thrust backwards. However, Jet Aircraft would use this only when landing to stop the plane at a high speed. Some Turboprop airliners like the ATR may use their reversers to propel themselves backwards, because they use a different mode to obtain thrust, which is via their propellers. However in most airliners, propelled by jet engines, they would be "pushed back" by a Pushback truck, which would line them up with the taxiway.

If you jump up on a plane in midflight will you move slightly to the back of the plane?

The previous answerer misunderstood the question, which is about jumping inside the cabin of a plane in flight, not jumping *out* of the plane. You will not move toward the back of the plane, as long as the plane isn't accelerating. Think about the Earth -- it's orbiting the sun at tremendous speed, but you don't fly off it when you jump up and down in your yard.
