Looking at usage of 'sit yourself' vs 'seat yourself', this is interesting:
http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=sit+yourself%2Cseat+yourself&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=18&smoothing=3&share=
The US pattern is similarish but sit has not yet overtaken:
http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=sit+yourself%2Cseat+yourself&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=18&smoothing=3&share=
Not a sophisticated enough query to prove anything much, but it might be indicative.
