Answer

Native Speaker will say(I mean in my way): 我坐着呢，没躺着.
and you should say: 我是坐着的，没有躺下.

Answer

我没有躺着，我正坐着。

Answer

But how do you negate an action or state with 着? With 没?

Answer

We say that we're doing one thing and the other thing can not happen in the same time.

Answer

No, basically I just want to know how to negate a continuous state like liying, sitting, standing...
