Annie and I have been trying to teach Raphael how to get down from standing for more than a month now and he has finally got the knac. Thanks to a visit from his early learning teacher, who made some suggestions in our home, we setup a new play area for him and put some "half way" cussions behind him so that when/if he plopped down backwards, he would just sit on the cussions and not be frightened by the big drop.
After a week's practice of clambering around these cussions, which incidentally he is also willing to step up onto and down from, he is now able to plop backwards from other surfaces and also to bend over and bend one knee to get down. Of course he still needs to hold onto something when he is standing up, I suspect that will take some time to train him to be able to stand by himself.
