Just go train for a while and see what the numbers are showing you.
Hm. I'm a little perplexed. I was under the impression that your seated W/Kg on a trainer would be higher since you're meeting resistance in every part of the pedal stroke and you can't 'con' your way out of your dead spot as easily as you can on the road.
When standing this isn't the case since you can't really move the bike under you and this generates power.
