The way I see the play in my head from the description, no I don't.

If it looks like an attempt to get up, then, in my mind, it's an attempt to get up. I'm not a mind reader.
The rule doesn't list what's allowed. It lists what's prohibited, and we get the "only allowed to" based off of that list. The alleged illegal act here is an attempt to get up, but I don't see the action (shifting from two knees to one knee) as an attempt to get up (I interpret "get up" as equivalent to "stand").
