ANSWER:

He must face the qibla in fard prayers and he must pray standing up as this is a pillar. 

However, if he is unable to do both and has to choose one, I would select facing the qibla and Allah knows best. 

QUESTION: A muslim is travelling by train and has to pray in the train. He has two choices: pray standing but not facing qibla or pray sitting down and facing the qibla. Which one should he choose?
