Standing requires your feet to be under the center of balance. Otherwise you will fall over.
When you stand up from a chair, your feet are normally somewhat in front of you. You compensate by leaning forward to move your center of balance forward.
So... standing up from a chair without leaning forward might be achieved by one (or a combination) of the following:
- With a chair that has open legs, put your feet as far back as possible, perhaps balancing on your toes and stand straight up.
- Scoot forward in the chair to effectively move your center of balance forward to the point where you can stand up.
- Support yourself with your arms or some device until you can move forward enough to get your center of balance under yourself.

Why is it not possible to sit upright in a chair and rise to one's feet without first leaning forward?
Your center of gravity is too far to the rear. Leaning forward transfers the weight to the front where your legs can lift you up to stand.

Can you push a wheel chair with one arm?
I've never seen a one-armed wheelchair. If one of the arms has fallen off, I'd return it for a new one or seek to have it repaired. If you are asking whether a wheelchair can be pushed using only one hand, I'd say yes, you can, if you wish to spin the chair around one wheel and aren't interested in moving the patient forward. If you wish to move the chair forward, however, then you must apply a force to the back of the chair between the two handles.

How do you remove Acura Integra 2001 front seats?
There are 4 14mm bolts that hold the drivers front seat to the floor. Slide the chair all the way back and unbolt the 2 front bolts with a wrench or socket, then slide the chair all the way forward to reach the rear 2 bolts. With the chair all the way forward, pull the latch on the side of the chair that lets the back fold forward as much as possible. With the bolts out and the chair folded forward you should be able to turn and guide it out of the car.

It probably means to straddle a chair so that your knees or legs point behind the chair, and when you lean forward you may rest your arms on the back of the chair. Whereas sitting 'forward' on a chair would mean you sit on a chair like you normally would.
