In order of most calories burned to least...
Running
speed walking
walking
standing
sitting
laying
I don't think it would be a ton more but it does require more effort to stand that to sit and your body is holding more weight when you stand than when you sit.

you may jump, twirl and turn while sitting, and burn more though.
Standing would burn more calories.
Standing burns 2.1 cals/kg/hr
Sitting burns 1.3 cals/kg/hr
