I have an adjustable desk at work so I put it in the standing position often.
Standing for hours really hurts your feet.
I don't find it surprising at all that people sit more at home if they have a standing desk.

You should be alternating more than this. Standing for hours can be just as detrimental to your health as sitting for hours.
I try to alternate standing and sitting every hour or so (but have a mechanical standing desk that I can adjust with ease). I usually dance in place to music while standing (as statically standing isn't very healthy either). It's gotten quite enjoyable, but it took a while for my body to get used to standing without discomfort.
I have a desktop on the standing desk, and I use the laptop while sitting. I also have one of those laptop-style desks that is really just a flat piece of wood that lies across your lap as a surface for writing on paper (rare) and reading books (I use the Kindle a lot, though). On the Kindle I have lots of tech books, and sometimes I'll read a chapter, see something I want to implement, stand up, and start coding again.
