The actor has some serious back problems and that weird way of getting into a chair is one of the ways he avoids triggering a flare up

Also Frakes is just really tall so he can just do that

Slight correction, had back problems. He was in a car accident and had to sit like that until it healed. By the time it was healed everyone just expected him to sit like that.
