No one 'sits in' the Almemar. The more common term used is 'bimah' and it is the platform from which the Torah is read to the congregation and religious services are led in a synagogue.

Answer:To correct the above answer, traditionally the prayers are not led from the central bimah. They're led from a lectern at the front of the synagogue.

Also, in past centuries, the Almemor was a large raised platform and in many cases it had a few seats, though no one was required to sit there.
