Um... you could try setting their animation frame.

People find that a certain frame in the climb animation makes for a good sitting position.

The one and only,

Assign this to your NPC's AI main field in entity properties

You might need to play around with the 'moveup' value to get the positioning correct depending on the height of the chir or other object you need him to sit on.

Place the attached in your scriptbank folder

This is the only way one can do it at this time without reanimating it and to tell you the truth I don't know whether one can do that using FPSC or not since I'm neither a graphics person or an animator.

I use this method but the problem with it is that the positioning of the arms still makes the NPC look weird; since this is a climbing animation. So the only thing you can do is try to add something in front of the NPC to make it appear that he is doing something with his arms or, instead of an idiot just standing there, you will have a dorky idiot just sitting there.
