one of the many solutions
% the data
c=cell(2,3); % <- your 4x20 cell array
[c{:}]=deal(1:3); % <- each element being a vec
% the engine
ca=cat(1,c{:});
r=ca(:,1);
% the result (as expected)
disp(c);
disp(r.');
% 1 1 1 1 1 1

caveat that all cells need to have same number of elements for this
solution, I think.
the cellfun solution listed earlier works even if that's not the case.
