Can two players characters occupy the same square if one is prone? - assuming they are both medium size
And what happens when the prone character stands up?

Yes they can.
Page 205 of the Rules Compendium reads:
Ally: A creature can enter an ally's space, but it can end its move in an ally's space only if that ally is prone.
...
Prone Creatures: A prone creature that ends up in the same square as another creature has two main options for moving itself out of that square: crawl or stand up.
When the prone character stands up he gets a free shift (well it's part of the move action he is already taking) into an adjacent square (Rules Compendium, p.250).

\$\begingroup\$ I agree, but looking at the
Rules Compendium, it's the section about standing up as aMove Action. Is there anything explicit on the effects if there are two characters, one of which isProne, e.g. are they bothSqueezed? \$\endgroup\$– SteveCMay 24, 2012 at 20:20 -
\$\begingroup\$ As there appears to be no rule for this, both are normal (there would have to be an exception that states "x happens when creatures share a space"). P205 of the RC allows moving into an ally's space explicitly. \$\endgroup\$ May 25, 2012 at 1:12

\$\begingroup\$ Ah ha, that's spot on ... "only if the ally is prone" \$\endgroup\$– SteveCMay 25, 2012 at 6:15
