in the lap or on the lap

0Hi there,02br
02br
00Idea posture is to sit straight, but not stiffy, against the back of the chair. Hands, when one is not actually eating, may be in the lap. 02br
02br
00In fact, I have two questions. 02br
02br
001. Is 'on the lap' instead of 'in the lap' correct?02br
02br
002. What is the difference between 'Hands, when one is not actually eating, may be in the lap' and 'When one is not actually eating, hands may be in the lap.'?02br
