I was always told never to sit/put extra weight on the bike with the main stand down as this is what buckles and bends it, as it is only designed to take the weight of the bike, especially when rife with tin worm, which our bikes are famous for!? You should really consider use of the side or centre stand depending on how and where the bike is situated for ease of getting it off . So unless you are very long legged I would advise against this! Only my opinion, I’m sure the same as most of us vertically challenged stumpy twats!
Feet are on the floor when I do it, so never really thought about extra weight.
