I'm a little taller than you are, but not much.
I have not tried to play tuba standing up; if I did....I'd probably use a very tall tuba stand. Maybe that would work for euph too, do some height mods on a tuba stand and go for it. You could position the stand so the bottom bow would be in the same place it would be if you set it on the chair you were sitting in. I put my F tuba in my lap, pretty much, but the CC I rest on the chair. I'm comfortable holding both tubas (one at a time!) that way. I'm glad I'm skinny enough to rest it on the chair...the guy next to me in brass band can't get his tuba on the chair, because he uses up the entire seat of the chair himself...so he wears it in a harness, which looks kind of uncomfortable to me. All that tuba weight on his tummy!
