This is probably the best way to get up if your joints can fully rotate. If you look closely, the legs are exactly below the center of mass when they touch the ground, making it easy to push upwards without falling over.

Humans just have to make complicated contortions or jump up because our joints are inferior (there are no slip rings for blood vessels).
