When a man lies on a cushion his weight is spread out over a large area. When he stands on the cushion his feet depress quite a small area. Since, put simply, "Pressure = Force divided by Area" so the smaller area creates a greater pressure.

How do you remove the rear seat cushion to replace the battery in a 2000 Buick Lesabre?

Reach down in the bite-line (where the seat cushion and the seat back meet). Pull up on the seat cushion until the cushion raises above the bottom of the seat back. Pull the seat cushion towards the front. There are two metal tabs that are hooked into the front of the seat cushion that holds it in place; unhook these by moving the cushion forward. To replace, reverse the procedure, but make sure the seatbelt recepticles are exposed before pushing the seat cushion down into the bite-line.

Is work being done when someone is sitting on a cushion on the floor?

Well. Work is being done. While sitting down, the person does not apply any force. He lets himself be dragged down by gravity. During this process, the gravitational force is doing the work. The work done by the gravitational force is stored as the potential energy present in the compressed cushion.
