What is the difference between ไม่ได้นั่ง and นั่งไม่ได้?

I understand the difference as follows (but my Thai is by no means perfect):

If somevody invites you to sit down (and to stay a while), but you have no time to do so, you may answer "นั่งไม่ได้" I can't sit down, I have no time...

If you go somewhere by bus and later you tell somebody ไม่ได้นั่ง that means "I didn't sit down (because there were no free seats)
