And I am not sure if the English translation also contemplates the meaning of not only uninvited but also the illegal entry used to get in. Not necessarily the main entrance.

Okay, that reminds me Mecano... "yo allí me colé y en tu fiesta me colé..."
You can listen to it here, For nostalgic people (80s) or if you want to practice Castilian Spanish... Mecano has definitely very nice, poetic and clear lyrics...

También saltarse el turno en la cola: queue/jump the queue (I think).

Yes, you can use jump the line/queue. It would be understood, and it will not sound strange.
