"Sit" is commonly used to describe the position when the body is resting on the backside.
To "take a seat" is to sit on a seat.
Also, when a government body is in session it is said to be "sitting".
If an article of clothing is not hanging, or looking, right it might be said that it doesn't "sit" properly.
I hope this has been some help.
I am Australian.

A dog.
The reason may be that you wrote it in capital letters and with the bangs afterwards, so I read it as a command, and only dogs are usually commanded to sit in this way.
If you had written 'the verb "sit"' instead of 'the verb SIT !!!' I'd associate it with immovability, as in "the wardrobe sits in a corner".
My mother language is Bulgarian.
