To see a picture of my wife standing in a kayak go to:

(click on the picture to get a larger image if you want).

This was at a class taught by GRO (no they didn't teach us how to stand in our boats).  It was done on a dare because they were complimenting her on her balance.  She can almost effortlessly reenter a boat with no paddle or paddlefloat from the side.  Just swim up on and flip in.  I can too but it takes me more work.
