I am also uncomfortable rising before "melech malchay ham'lachim." The Havurat Shalom Siddur Project (1991) offers this alternative, copywrited by Aliz Arzt 1987.:
Lifney moraynu m'kor hahayyim.
before our Teacher, Source of Life.
And, she changed the next section that begins:
"shehu noteh shamayim v'yosed aretz." that's the same, but the next line is:
haporays k'nafav aleynu u'maynikaynu b'chasdo.
who spread wings over us, nourishing us with lovingkindness.
There's more, and I can bring it to the next meeting, or copy and send it if someone wants it before then. Email me off-line to let me know

I really like this. It could be a great model for building our own Fringes aleynu.
