You can make any 3-way arrangement work this way, as long as you enter and exit by the same door. If you use on switch to turn on the lights and another as you leave, you’ll mess up the handle arrangement.

As long as you go back the same way the pot's right when you get back.

I do exactly the same thing and it saves all this argument. Some people just expect down to be off and don't understand the concept of a 3 way. Works fine until somebody throws a rotary dimmer in the system.
