Indeed, that's why "uvechen lecho taaleh kedusha" comes *before* UT.
It has long seemed to me, therefore, that one should stand as for kedusha,
just as one does for the keter/naaritzcha with which we usually introduce
the kedusha of musaf; and that the person who opens and closes the aron
should remain up there until after kedusha, instead of retreating to his
place as soon as he's closed it.  But I haven't seen this done.  People
do stand for UT, but not with feet together, and don't refrain from
wandering about or whispering a word to their kids, etc., to an extent
that they would refrain during kedusha.
