I can't find anything in the PHB about how teleporting affects prone creatures. Teleporting automatically ends the restrained condition, I wonder if it also can end the prone condition.

Can a prone creature stand up during the teleport?

No.

Rules Compendium page 213:

If a prone creature teleports, it arrives in the destination square still prone.

Not much more to say than this, although Acedrummer has come up with a nice little solution to the problem. I cannot find this clause in PHB1 or PHB3, so it must have come in a later errata or as part of the Rules Compendium update. – Iszi Feb 7 '11 at 4:19
The Rules Compendium is the rules plus the errata. Nothing more. – okeefe Feb 7 '11 at 15:57

No.

But there is a way to do it using magic items and the destination point.

Have a magic item like Safewing Amulet - lets you land on your feet when falling. Then Teleport to 10 feet above ground.

Tada! Standing from a teleport.

Using any combination like this works nicely.
