You may hear that sitting in the fetal position (knees to chest) denotes security. To sit in such a position would mean that you're uncomfortable with your surroundings and seek a little shelter by curling up. I don't know how relevant that is. I've found that I've grown out of that position, though I did stick to it through most of my teen years.
I know one thing that's not relevant - the preception that if you sit with your legs crossed at the knees, you have a small package. I do it all the time (for warmth) and.. well... yeah. That's not a true statement.
