It depends on who you're talking to. [pronunciations in brackets]

Someone you know well who is about your age or younger (using tú):
Levántate (stand up) and Siéntate (sit down)
[lay-VAHN-tah-tay] and [see-EN-tah-tay]

Any group of people in Latin America (using Ustedes):
Levántense (stand up) and Siéntense (sit down)
[lay-VAHN-ten-say] and [see-EN-ten-say]

A group of people you know well who are about your age or younger in Spain (using vosotros):
Levántados (stand up) and Siéntados (sit down)
[lay-VAHN-tahd-ohs] and [see-EN-tahd-ohs]

To someone older than you or in a position of authority or an adult you don´t know well (using Usted), it would be a little different, because you would probably not use the imperative forms to order around someone that you would use Usted for:
Por favor, que se levante. (stand up) and
Por favor, que se siente. (sit down)
[pohr fah-VOHR, kay say lay-VAHN-tay]
[pohr fah-VOHR, kay say see-EN-tay]

To a group of people that are older than you or in an authority position or that you don´t know well (using Ustedes, and also not using the imperative):
Por favor, que se levanten. (stand up)
Por favor, que se sienten. (sit down)
[pohr fah-VOHR, kay say lay-VAHN-ten]
[pohr fah-VOHR, kay say see-EN-ten]

Infinitives, so, "to stand up" and "to sit down":
levantarse and sentarse

levantete(lay-vante-te) and cientete(see-in-te-te), I don't think that's how you spell it but that's how you say it.
