Question

What's the difference?

Can you move over a little bit?
Can you scoot over a little bit?

Which one do you use while sitting, and which one while standing?

Answer

Great question! Actually both work in either situation — sitting or standing. The real difference is register: "move over" is neutral and works everywhere, while "scoot over" is more informal and casual — something you'd say to a friend on a sofa or in a car. You'd probably never hear it in a formal or professional context.
