Any time you save whilst crouching, the moment the game loads back up to that point, your Dragonborn is stuck in crapping posiition. This will most often happen should you die unexpectedly from a failed attempt at whatever it was you needed to sneak for, punishing you further with the spine-crippling squats of shame.
