The answer

Standing, when one is able, is a pillar of prayer, without which the prayer is invalid. If congregational prayer prevents a person from standing despite being able to, then it is preferable for him to pray alone while standing. If he can join a subsequent congregational prayer while standing, then he should delay his prayer and pray with that congregation while standing. Multiple congregations are permissible within the same mosque.
