Chill. I never said anything about anyone telling me not to store my bag standing. lol. Thats why I said in my post “just sharing” how my bag looks like after storing it standing for several years.Well, on the bag's back because of gravity; in the dust bag because of dust and light; sangles fastened because it keeps the shape; and with airflow because it's better for the leather. Again just what I was told, but I have bags that are many years old and all are in great shape.
I do recommend taking bags out and checking them regularly. Occasionally a back pocket can have a flaw that can make an indent, or something the bag is lying on, even rough paper, can make a mark.
No one is telling you not to store your bag standing. As I said in my post, YMMV. I personally think standing storage can cause/exacerbate that slight ripple in the piping, which some folks mind and some like.So many people here seem to worry about their Kellys slouching, so I tend to angle my advice in that direction. We all know that in the atelier they are hung by the handle 🤷♀️
The smaller the bag, the less slouching, so K25 is way less likely to slouch than, say, K35.
Anyway, again, there are bag storage threads; let's get back to things that relate to Kelly 25 specifically?!

New Etain Kelly! So in love. I owned a 35 Birkin in Etoupe but it was so heavy.
I have the same color with shw in a 28 and absolutely love it! Such an easy shade of grey and can be worn casually or not! Congratulations 🎉
Standing with sangles and tiret in closed position. Insert, dust bag etc inside. No issues for both sellier and retourne.
Picked up this beauty last week 🥰 k25 retourne in noir Togo. So excited! 
Here’s my Noir K25 in Epsom with GHW. The K25 is the perfect bag for me. I’d also love a neutral retourne K25 with PHW for a more casual look. Maybe one day.
Hi there. I'm looking to add a K25 retourne b/c I find my K25 sellier epsom a little difficult to get in and out of due to the stiffness of the flap and overall bag. Can someone (who owns both models) please advise on whether it is easier to get in and out of a K25 retourne vs. K25 sellier? Thanks so much in advance! 
Yes its definitely easier to get things in and out of retourne than sellier.Hi there.

I agree in general and the leather makes a difference as well.
Way easier to get in and out of a retourne, and way easier to use in general.Hi there.
