Electrons don't specifically move toward surfaces, they move to be as far apart from each other, so internal surfaces don't count significantly. Saying they move toward surfaces is only true for convex objects (and they are evenly distributed when the object is a sphere). In the human body, they'll move toward extremities: hands, feet, tips of hairs, ... The latter is an easy to observe effect of static electricity, charges will apply pressure on the hairs and make them straight so they are as far away from the rest of the charges as possible.
