In the second and last rakat of each prayer, a person should do qadah (to sit with legs folded backwards).
No specific timing or supplication has been fixed in this regard but Muslims usually recite attahiyat during this Qada (after second rakat) and additional prayers during the last qada (after last rakat). It results in both a good supplication and also ensures that proper qadah has been performed (a complete proper sitting which was the main objective).

Sorry, I meant the second sajdah in the first rakat, after which you have to stand for the second rakat. Do we have to sit first after getting up from Sajdah and then stand up or just stand up straight away?

What is obligatory is mentioned above.
However, sitting after second sajda of first rakat and third rakat (where it is not the last rakat) is optional because it has also been reported that sometimes instead of standing up straight after the second prostration, Prophet (sws) would sit down and then stand up for the next rakat.
