In theory, if there was a nearby lightning strike, you could end up with a voltage difference between your feet. And where there's a voltage difference you can get a current flowing. That current would then go through your body, and possibly damage you.

In practice, if you're that closes to a strike, I don't think the way you stand is going to make much of a difference.
