KNEEL DOWN: At the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, we teach patients to kneel if they need to assume that position.  After all, you can't kneel up.

Sit down is also redundant, but you can sit up.  However, our patients learn only to sit, unless they're already lying down.

In the case of lying down, we actually need to be redundant to be clear, something lawyers love.  "Lying" has different meanings, so even "lying on a bed" can be ambiguous, if a desperately amorous person is involved.

Of course I'll call you again.
