lt depends upon the tradition of the church. Nothing in scripture says that it is 'wrong' to kneel for prayer, stand for prayer or sit for prayer. What is important is that you come to prayer in the right frame of mind. When I was brought up, in the church I attended the tradition was that we knelt for prayer. In my own church we sit for prayer, as most find this posture more comfortable so that one can concentrate on the prayer and not on ones creaky joints! When we spent some time in Norway in 2006, we wennt to a church where they sat for the hymns and always stood for the prayers. Traditionally during confessional prayers one knelt as this posture was accepted as more contrite -- but again, one can still kneel in a contrite position and not be partiularly contrite in one's heart. So it is the attitude to prayer that is important - not whether you sit, stand or kneel. If your church prefers one to the other then join in with the tradition. Otherwise do whatever you feel most comfortable.

Penance .
A priest in the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church is usually the one who hears a confession and prays the prayer of absolution for the penitent (assuming the person is willing to repent). The priest may also give the penitent a "penance" which is an obedience and discipline, typically a set of prayers to be prayed regularly or an admonition to return to a more regular prayer life already prescribed. Note that the word "penitentiary" is related to the words penitent and penance.
