I don't stand up when I'm driving, not even when the Proms are on the radio and the Queen is in attendance. There are limits... On the other hand, I have stood almost bare (in pyjamas, often) in a chilly bedroom for the anthem, many times, I remember when they used to play it at closedown in the days before radio stations were 24 hour. We didn't have central heating in those days.
I do generally stand "to attention" during the anthem and then "stand easy" at the end, but that's my early training and I don't expect anyone else to do the same. Having laws about what you do with your hands, for civilians, strikes me as bizarre, particularly for "the land of the free".
