Working standing up has similar effects as 'pacing around', when needing to think about something intently, gripped by thought enough that you're compelled to move around a little... I can't imagine being deep in thought and just sitting still.

That said, I don't use a standing desk, I just occasionally stand up and work from a counter when I feel compelled.

It's really hard. I have had to get used to it, though, because I have yet to work in a place with enough space where I can do that.
