it is quite diffucult to clarify the difference.
Actually, people don’t say ”ここで座る” in general.
“に” is also used for the point where the operation/action will be finished.
In this case,in sentence”ここに座る”, when people sit once,the operation of “座る” is completed.
Thus,"に" could be suitable.
It might be necessary to remember how to use”で””に” on a case-by-case basis....
