Where's the imperative?

When I read Guillermo's answer to Saramallorca, Unless you meant I sit happy. You could say it if you like the chair a lot. smile I laughed and thought it would be a wonderful motto to have on a pillow for a chair for a guest to sit on. Something like Sit here and be happy. But when I looked up the conjugation for sentarse, there was no imperative. Why not?

The conjugations are all for the root verb, sentar. It's the same conjugation, with the addition of the reflexive pronoun on the end (if it's a positive imperative).
