I've got a bar stool I use in the front of my class and practice getting on and off simply because I don't want to cause any undue stress on my students. I kinda lift up on my tippy toes and slide back onto the stool seat making sure that I'm wearing my sporran AND holding the front apron down. I usually don't wear my sporran during class so holding the front down while mounting the stool is really important. At times I'll sit at an angle to the class just in case they have inquiring minds that day. The last thing I do is to part my legs a bit and firmly place my hands in between my legs and press down. I'll gather my kilt in sort of a bunch in front of me and by pressing down you can hide a lot. I don't sit down much during class because I wander a lot and usually sit with my students. But NEVER and I mean NEVER have your back to a class and bend over to pick something up... VERY BAD form. Practice makes permanent.

Not the best shot of me on my stool but O.K.
