∙ 11y agoUsually we sit on chairs. We sit in something like a car or a room or we 'sit in silence'.
(another opinion from an native speaker of American English)
To me, it seems natural to say "sit in a chair" if the chair is padded or stuffed so that
one sinks down into it. "on" also sounds OK and would be expected if the chair was specifically mentioned to be hard. One would always say "sit on a bench" , or sit on a stool, I think.

∙ 13y agoA chair is not like a bowl or bucket, that you sit IN. wheras it is an item that you sit ON. Therefore, technically you sit ON a chair and not IN it. But, that it a commonly used term and I would not consider it wrong to say, for example: "sit down in your chair!"
