There are many pro riders that I see standing a lot. For example, Juha Salimen is a stand-up type of rider (he also has a trials background). I'm guessing your trials background makes standing more natural for you. I prefer standing in most situations, but get seated in corners and any relatively flat sections... anywhere to give my legs a rest to conserve energy and relax my muscles.
