reach is set before the rest of Halo series...why didnt he use armo lock, during the intitial explosion, than fall like N6 did?
It wasn't an explosion. It was a rip in space-time, which is how ships get into and out of slipspace in the Halo universe.
Noble team mounted the slipspace drive to a pelican and landed it on the Covenant Corvette, which then was redirected to the Covenant Supercarrier.
Jorge had to manually activate the slipspace drive. Even if he had used armor lock, he still would have been sucked into slipspace.
Technically, Jorge could still be alive if he survived the entry to, and subsequent exit from, slipspace. A similar situation was discussed in First Strike. MC wanted to destroy the Covenant space station without requiring the ship to leave slipspace. They reinforced a drop ship and launched from the ship. Since they no longer had a slipspace drive ripping a hole through space-time, the drop ship exited slipspace and re-entered space-time.
