[Avodah] Standing for Parshat Zachor

[Moshe Y. Gluck]

R' Stuart Grant:
I believe the default position for the performance of all Mitzvot D'orayta
or D'rabbanim is to stand, unless there is a reason to sit.   We count the
Omer standing, do Hadlakat Nerot standing, put on Tefillin (Ashkenazim)
standing, etc.   We bentch sitting because that is how we ate and because
sitting allows greater Kavanah for somewhat long prayers.   We stand for the
Amidah, however, because Chazal required that we view ourselves to be
directly in G-d's presence at that time.

Bach OC beginning of 53 says differently, IIRC.
