on one’s way means that they’re on their way to a destination. it’s like “he’s on his way to the station.” to be in someone’s way means that they’re blocking your path. if you’re walking and someone is standing in front of you and you can’t walk further because of them, that means that the person is in your way.

He was very frustrated because the airport was packed and there were so many people in his way as he tried to get to the gate.
