There is no requirement to treat all pesukim exactly the same. One is
entitled to stand or sit during KhT as one wishes, and has no obligation
to choose one policy and stick to it. The problem is only with standing
up for special pesukim, such as Shma or the 10D. Since there's nothing
special about the pasuk before the 10D, there's no problem with deciding
to stand for it. And when the special pesukim come along one is already
standing, so one has no obligation to sit down.
