I have a riddle.?

An old man is walking in a park and gets tired. He finds a bench and sits down to rest. Soon, he dozes off and falls asleep. He wakes a couple hours later and tries to get off the bench but can't get up. Why isn't he able to stand up?

Update:

Best answer goes to tumbleweed. He was the first to answer this correctly.

    Any good riddle is a play on words... in this example I think park might be the word thats played on. We have an image of an old man sitting on a park bench, but I was thinking perhaps it was a baseball park or something. I still can't put it together but I thought this might help someone that can

    because he "fell" asleep after dozing off and he's no longer on the bench.

    Geez that's a tough one.. I'm going to go out on a limb on this and say it is because he is still sitting, I know that sounds contrived though.
