  • I am very sedentary in my workplace.

  • I work at a desk-job, so I don't get to move around very much.

My two examples say what you want to without directly mentioning the chair or sitting. sed·en·tar·y
ˈsednˌterē/Submit
adjective
(of a person) tending to spend much time seated; somewhat inactive.
synonyms: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary; More
(of work or a way of life) characterized by much sitting and little physical exercise.
synonyms: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary; More
(of a position) sitting; seated.
synonyms: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary; More

Saying that you work a "desk-job" also implies that you sit for extended periods of time.

私の2つの例は、chair(椅子)やsitting(座ること)と直接言わずに、質問者様の言いたいことを表します。sed·en·tar·y
ˈsednˌterē/Submit
形容詞
座って時間を過ごしがちな(人); いくらか非活動的な。
同義語: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary; 座ることが多く、ほとんど運動しないことを特徴とした仕事や生活。
同義語: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary; 座っている状態。
同義語: sitting, seated, desk-bound, stationary;
work a "desk-job" (デスクでの仕事をしている)も、長時間座っていることを意味します。

  • I'm always at a desk.

  • I don't move much at work.

  • I sit down all day.

If you use a phrase like "I'm always at my desk," it is implied that you are usually sitting down. You can say:
- At work, I'm always at my desk.
- When I'm at home, I'm always at my desk. ( <-- using your PC/playing on the Internet)

It is also implied that you are working at a sit-down job if you say, "I don't move much at work."
- I like to go for walks at lunch time because I don't move much at work.

As always, there is also nothing wrong with being direct. Simply saying "I sit down all day" is enough.
- I don't mind standing on the train ride home because I sit down all day.

"I'm always at my desk"と言えばだいたい常に座っているという事です。
このように言います:

  • At work, I'm always at my desk.
  • When I'm at home, I'm always at my desk. ( <-- パソコンを使っている事)   

"I don't move much at work."といえば座りっぱなしの仕事をしていると相手は捉えます。
- I like to go for walks at lunch time because I don't move much at work.

単純に"I sit down all day" で充分だと私は思います。
- I don't mind standing on the train ride home because I sit down all day.

  • I spend all day sitting in front of my computer.

in front of my computer(パソコンの前で)でうまく状況が相手に伝わると思います。

spend+時間+動詞ingで「(時間)を〜して費やす」という表現になっています。
all dayをtoo much time(過度の時間)やa lot of time(かなりの時間)のように言い換えてもOKです。

例文は会社に関係なく自宅での状況にもなりますが、office(会社)をあえて用いなくてもどの場面の話であるかは実際のコミュニケーションでは文脈より通じると思います。

officeを用いて、他にも一例を挙げておきますのでご参考ください。

I've been in my office all day, sitting in front of my computer.([今日は]一日中、パソコンの前に座りっぱなしで会社にこもっています)

  • I spend most of my time at work sitting in front of the computer.

  • I'm usually in front of a computer sitting when I'm at work.

When you want to tell someone that you spend a lot of your time sitting in front of a computer at work, then you can say:
-I spend most of my time at work sitting in front of the computer.
-I'm usually sitting in front of a computer when I'm at work.

仕事でコンピューターの前に座っている時間が長いことを伝えたい時、次のように言えます。

-I spend most of my time at work sitting in front of the computer.
仕事では、ほとんどコンピューターの前に座ってます。

-I'm usually sitting in front of a computer when I'm at work.
仕事中は、いつもコンピュータの前に座ってます。

  • Sedentary at work!

  • When I am at home I am quite active but at work , I am totally sendentary

Sedentary is the perfect wprd to use in this scenario:-D Those of us who are
"tied to our desks" all day, with little opportunity to move around; are said to be
sendentary... "A desk job like mine is a very sedentary occupation!"

この場合、sendentary(デスクワークの)という言葉がぴったりでしょう。一日中、動き回ることがほとんどなく、机に向かっている人のことをsendentaryと言います。

"A desk job like mine is a very sedentary occupation!"
私がしているような机上の仕事は、まさにデスクワークだ!
