I'm not sure if 4.44.5D applies because the starting position is ONE knee on the ground... My intuition tells me that lifting the knee in any similar situation is a violation. What do you say?

If said player gets up, or attempts to get up, it a traveling violation.
4-44: Traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits while holding the ball. The limits on foot movements are as follows ... After gaining control while on the floor and touching with other than hand or foot, may not attempt to get up or stand.
Of course, said player can legally pass the ball, shoot the ball, start a dribble and get up, or request a timeout.
