Your original question - when do bassoonists ever stand? - can be answered by one statement - "when they play solo in front of an orchestra or chamber group or other small group."
Having said that, however, I have had to stand on several occasions with my wind ensemble, either because there wasn't enough room for us to play in our normal "U" shape or because for some other reason I was behind some other players. I personally think it is a good idea not to get so attached to sitting that you can't play any other way. When I stand, I don't use a neck strap, though, as I find them uncomfortable and they don't give me a very secure feeling. I use a halter, and can play easily; it is very comfortable and the support feels very secure.
