I respectfully disagree. The right-hand thumb performs the important function of keeping the mouthpiece in the mouth by way of a gentle upsweep toward the embouchure. If one rests the instrument on the knees, and becomes dependent on this position, the right-hand thumb becomes lazy, and things rapidly start to fall apart. The best solution is always to practice standing up and to play "standing up" (i.e. in a erect position) even when seated.

Cheers
