Let's also add p.B368, from the rules for steps:

You can use a step to go from a kneeling to a standing posture (or vice versa) instead of moving. This requires your entire step, no matter how far you could normally move.
Let's also consider that there are two types of kneeling, on both legs or on one leg. You definitely can't get up and move if you were kneeling on both legs. With one leg, you would need to have the kneeling legs foot in a useful contact with the ground so that you can push off with that leg. Otherwise you need to use the other leg to lift you enough so that you get the foot on you kneeling leg into position for walking, which also isn't quick.

As it stands, this is something very easy to check. Just try to get up from a kneeling posture.

And those rules from MA? They only apply to certain attacks at reach C.
