There is no law requiring you to do so. If you feel patriotic and wish to participate in the pledge, then stand, put your hand over your heart, and recite it. You can also stand respectfully and remain silent if you have any objection to the pledge (e.g. some people do for religious reasons, or for political reasons). Sitting while others stand and recite the pledge is your right, but people will undoubted be offended by this so be prepared to engage in a conversation with people about your decision.

Should foreigners stand to show respect for the flag?

I am not US citizen. I participate with my boys in scouting where we have a flag ceremony at each major meeting. The flag is brought up and the pledge of allegiance is recited. Since I respect the other people in the room, I stand silently while this is done. When the pledge of allegiance is recited, I stand silently on the side. I do not recite the pledge because it would not be authentic since I am not a citizen, but, I show respect by standing next to others. Even though I am not a US citizen, I am a citizen of another country and understand and believe in showing respect to ones flag and symbols. In my mind, this is like when you attend a sporting event and another countries flag and national anthem is sung, you stand silently showing respect.
