Taken out of context, how likely is this sentence to be taken as "he took a seat on the bed"?

I would never say "took a seat on the bed."

This sentence means that he sat on the bed, like you would sit on a chair. Maybe he came into your room and you were sitting on the only chair, so he sat on the bed.

so it could never mean : he was sitting on the bed

The reason I am asking that there seems to be some confusion, judging from the variety of the linked translations, whether this means the man's action of seating himself or whether it is a description of the man's position.
