I find that after a while of being used to skidding, you get used to where to position yourself in order to slow down/stop/show off in a certain distance. And yeah, if you wanna stop quick then just keep your weight back.
Oh, but if it's super wet (as on a certain recent monopoly ride) then skidding sitting down is practically necessary, unless you wanna skid for a mile or so, depending on what tyres you're running of course!
