When I stand for (very) short periods of time while not walking, I find it works very well to put the strap attachment point on the bottom bow (like a D-ring) over my belt buckle. This puts the entire weight of the tuba on my hips, preventing any back, shoulder, or breathing problems. It doesn't work quite as well if you are moving, as the tuba tends to bounce.
