It is known that the copilot was in his seat at impact and that the captain's seat was run to the aft outboard position, from which one could only assume that he had left his seat. He might have simply moved it aft in order to get a better view of the overhead panel.

From sources I do nat want to disclose here, it is quite sure that both pilots where in their seats until the crash, although the heat in the flightdeck must have been almost unbearable. There was a fire inbetween the overhead panel and the airframe, at some stages even melting aluminium dripping down on the pilot seats. Unbelievable tragedy.
