on your toes
When you stand on a floor, the force that you exert on the floor because of your weight is equal to the force with which the floor supports your weight.
you have decreased the area over which the force is applied, and pressure is force per unit area
The person of mass (m) exerts the same force on the ground both standing up and lying down. This can be easily seen through Newtons Second Law ie F = ma. Knowing that pressure is defined as force over area (P = F/Area), it can be seen that the person standing up is applying more pressure to the ground.
It's actually to do with surface area. One foot decreases your area, therefore all your weight (pressure) is on one foot. 2 feet would distribute the weight

Total pressure is the same in either case, but on your toes, you exert more pounds per square inch, on fewer square inches.
When a man stands on the ground his weight (force) is spread over a small area, causing high pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area). When a man lies on the ground his same weight (force) is spread over a larger area, causing low pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area).

KP does not stand for anything in weight. KP = kilopascal is a measurement unit for pressure - which is NOT weight.

Yes

Yes, the force exerted by the floor on our feet is equal to the force that our feet exerted on the floor, or it just depends on your weight, If you are heavier than the normal. When you stand, the longer the time you stand, the more pain you feel on your feet. And we can't be move upward by the force that the floor exerted on our feet because of the force of our weight that keeps us on the ground, and also because of gravity.
