1. He is moving in the seat.
2. He is moving on the seat.
3. He is moving at the seat.
[Which prepositions can we use? Are the three have the same meaning? Which one is commonly used?]

If he's wiggling around, then you'd most likely use "in" or "on." I can't think of any circumstance when you'd use "at."
Remember, "in" usually means "inside" and "on" usually means "onto" or "on the top of."

Thank you for your help.
4. He is reading a book in the seat.
5. He is reading a book on the seat.
6. He is reading a book at the seat.
[Are they all right? Does #6 mean that he is reading a book next to the seat?(on the floor)]
In my opinion, the only wording that is correct is some variation of these:
He is reading a book in the chair.
He is reading a book on the bench.
He is reading a book at the library.
He is reading a book as he sits on the floor.
The word "seat" implies he is on a bus or in a car or something
The preposition "at" implies he is somewhere (library, home, or ... ), but we don't know where or what he is sitting on.
