Shmoel: If it’s an incredibly uncomfortable position to do that (old, ill, injured) then it’s okay. The Aruch Hashulchan has a Chiddush that if someone cannot put their feet together they should stand with one foot directly in front of the other. R’ Moshe, however, pretty strongly says not to do this and just to stand with your feet side-by-side as close together as you can.
