Sit vs stand

As a sax major, I first played bassoon in grad school about 10 years ago as part of a tech class so I could earn a teaching certificate. The teacher had us sit the entire time.

After years of it sitting in my closet, I took it up again last year and had lessons with a great teacher. Again, we always sat.

My question is, when do bassoonists ever stand? In what situation do they do so? And when they do, how difficult is it to get used to it after years of sitting? How different does it feel in terms of what your fingers have to do? Is there a special neckstrap you use that is actually comfortable?

Thanks.
