When I first read they blurb about how they worked, it said the bike had to be vertical, which was confounding me.
The instructions said to unlock it you can either flip the bike upside down or stand in on it's rear wheel. I've got full fenders, so I've never unlocked it vertically, but it works just fine when I flip it over.
I too thought it would be a little awkward, but surprisingly the seat didn't move when I unlocked it. I thought I was going to lose my placement, but for whatever reason it stayed in place, which was especially surprising because my rig is pretty heavy! YMMV
