Not necessarily the same as "I have been here for an hour." Suppose you arrived an hour ago and then went for a long walk and returned?

Yes, I can. Several different ways. Here are some:

I have not moved from this spot in the last hour.
It's now 1 o'clock, and I've been here since noon.
I could have watched two-thirds of a 90-minute movie in the time I've parked myself in this place.
