Why not do seated barbell presses, dumbbell presses, arnold presses or smith machine presses?
You can definitely do those exercises while seated. In fact, not long ago I broke my leg in an unfortunate accident, and would do most of my exercises seated because I was not supposed to stress the leg till complete recovery.
I had a major knee injury and was unable to train legs for a month. I still trained upper body and did exactly what you suggested! I Just performed all the exercises I would normally do standing seated.
If you get creative, you can find seated substitutions for pretty much every exercise.
In fact, you could argue that seated exercises will give you better upper body development because you can't sway or cheat with momentum when doing seated exercises.

No problem doing these shoulder exercises sitting down. As Steve mentions, it is much harder to cheat this way anyways.
