"I'm used to" or "I get used to"?
Could you tell me, please, the difference between these two expressions?

To put it simply, 'be used to + gerund or noun' means that you are accustomed to it (Ex: I'm used to getting up early).
'To get to used to + gerund or noun' literally means 'to become accustomed to' (Ex: If you want to be a parent, you need to get used to loud noises.)
I hope this helps.

I sat down, and now I am sitting.
Я сел, и теперь я сижу.
I got used to it, and now I am used to it.
Я привык к этому, и теперь я... привык (привыкший?) к этому. (Не знаю, в русском это то же самое в двух смыслах?)
