This is the only occasion where "e" and "ni" can be interchanged, so you would never say "Isu '''e''' suwatte imasu." for "I am sitting on the chair" (Isu '''ni''' suwatte imasu), otherwise you are saying, "I am sitting to the chair."

Another example of the difference between "e" and "ni" is when used with the verb "irassharu" ("to be somewhere,” "to go,” or "to come"). As "ni" always follows the place where a person "exists,” saying "Doko '''ni''' irasshaimasu ka?" means "Where is he?", but because "e" specifies a destination or direction, saying "Doko '''e''' irasshaimasu ka?" means "Where are you going?"
