Pose and sit in odd places? This shows I crave attention (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

psst

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'this shows i crave attention' is the definition.
('psst' is used to get someone's attention)

'pose and sit in odd places?' is the wordplay.
'pose' becomes 'ps' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'in odd places?' means one should take alternating letters (I've seen 'in odd places' mean this (only odd-numbered letters)).
The alternate letters of 'sit' are 'st'.
'ps'+'st'='PSST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for psst that I've seen before include "attempt to make secret contact" , "Whispered exclamation to attract attention" , "Listen!" , "Hissing noise to attract attention" , "Beckoning sound" .)
