This has already been suggested: can't he sit at the desk at the other side of the studio? It seems much more practical. Neither the presenter or guest has to stand up. The presenter has the Barcos either side to show graphics, and he can conduct interviews there as well. Much easier than this new arrangement they're going for.

The desk is still there from the previous evening's Newsnight, it's just not used during Breakfast. It was shown once during a wide shot of the studio when they had an artist in doing a painting of the presenters.
It would certainly look more professional if Simon Jack and his guest sat at the desk rather than just loiter in the middle of the studio.
On a side note interesting to see interaction between the news channel presenters and Bill/Kate at 8.30 today- they had been discussing a story about attraction through smell just beforehand, and when the usual plug for the news channel starting came up, Simon McCoy was clearly doing a smelling uder the arms action, followed by Simon and Rachel both waving to camera when Kate reffered to them. First time I've seen the news channel presenters acknowledge the plug by Breakfast.
I remember when they did a bit about hugging just before 8.30, I think it was Bill and Louise and when they showed the NC there was Simon and Carrie hugging away and as they cut away from breakfast Bill and Louise were hugging aswell. There's also been many an occasion where we've seen Simon getting his make-up done and Carrie pointing and laughing
