坐 can be used to describe a person who has been convicted of a crime, for example: 他被判了罪,所以坐了牢。(Tā bèi pàn le zuì, suǒyǐ zuò le láo.) He was found guilty, so he was sent to prison.

It can also be used to describe the orientation of a building, for example: 这栋建筑坐西朝东。(Zhè dòng jiànzhù zuò xī cháo dōng.) The back of this building faces east, so the front of the building faces west.

It can also be used to describe the action of putting something on fire, for example: 坐水 (zài shuǐ) means "to boil water (on a stove)".

Finally, it can be used to describe the action of a gun recoiling, for example: 后坐力 (hòu zuò lì) means "(of a gun when fired) recoil".
