Standing hurts my lower back within 10 minutes.
Probably a mobility issue. The pain is similar as if I try to do an overhead press.
I have been squatting for 60 seconds twice a day. I should probably try hanging too. Any other ideas ?

Hanging helped a little and so did the traction machine at the sports medicine doctor, aka Chiropractor. Things like that only helped until I got to the root of the problem.
I hope this helps in some way and your back gets better.
EDIT: Also, when you go to get something off the ground, go down to one knee instead of squatting down, that one was straight from the doctor and actually helped a lot.
Deadlifts are amazing to strengthen the lower back muscles. I used to have lower back pain from mountain biking (which can be typical of the sport), and after I took up weightlifting that pain mostly went away.
Awesome standup chair with a balance ball that makes you move your back all the time and creates energy, and thus prohibits stiffness in the back and neck. They also have a standing board for a good combo.
