"Basically", but not according to the rules.

I wouold say it costs one point of movement, so with Move 5 you could go from kneeling to standing using 1 point, then use the remaining 4 points to move 4 hexes (and attack if doing a Move and Attack).

That's a possible house-ruling, but it's not RAW.
I think that Rules As Written explicitly mention "Step and..." maneuvers on purpose, just to prevent the move you described (e.g., to prevent a kneeling character to move around almost freely on the map, just losing 1 point of movement).
It sounds right to me than a kneeling character can stand up & attack almost as if he were standing, but that on the contrary he is impeded if he wants to take a "move..." maneuver.
Using your ruling, you seriously de-emphasize impact and meaning of being in a "kneeling" posture.
