It really depends how much you're moving, not whether you're sitting or standing. My wife switched florists from one where everything was stored in a smaller space (containers, flowers, supplies, etc were all in a relatively small area) to one where the containers were in the back room, flowers were a walk away, etc...just a bigger shop in general. She stood for the majority of her work in both places. She had been maintaining at the same calorie level for 2 years, and immediately when she switched jobs, she was starving, added more snacks, and still dropped 10 lbs in a few months.
So movement (walking, reaching, lifting) all day definitely can make a difference, but simply standing won't make much of one.
