Crawling 5 feet (or any distance) provokes AoOs unless you have the rogue talent Rogue Crawl.

Crawling: You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl. A crawling character is considered prone and must take a move action to stand up, provoking an attack of opportunity.
If you can only move five feet, you can't take a five foot step. If you are prone, you can only crawl. You can only crawl five feet per round. Ergo you can't take a five foot step while prone.
There used to be a feat which allowed this, and someone has already identified the rogue talent.
There's also the Monkey Moves style feat from Ultimate Combat. Emphasis mine.
Prerequisites: Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, Monkey Style, Acrobatics 8 ranks, Climb 8 ranks.
Benefit: While using Monkey Style, you gain a Wisdom bonus on Climb checks. You can also can climb and crawl at half your speed; you can take a 5-foot step by jumping, crawling, or climbing; and you retain your Dexterity bonus to AC while climbing. Further, while using Monkey Style, when you use your unarmed strike to hit an opponent twice or more on your turn, you can spend a swift action to take a 5-foot step even if you have moved this round.
Normal: You climb at one-quarter your speed, and you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC while doing so. A 5-foot step is made using your normal movement modes, and you can take one only if you have not otherwise moved this round.
What if you teleport? Can you end the teleport on your feet?
By RAW I would say no. It doesn't include a move action as part of the spell. It just teleports you.
Are there any magic items that make you always land on your feet? If so, using one would allow you to stand as part of a teleport - just teleport 5 feet up in the air, and the magic item will un-prone you as you fall.

Clever. :)

Who needs an item? Just be able to make a DC 15.
"Falling: When you deliberately fall any distance, even as a result of a missed jump, a DC 15 Acrobatics skill check allows you to ignore the first 10 feet fallen, although you still end up prone if you take damage from a fall."
Also relevant: Falling Rules
"Creatures that take lethal damage from a fall land in a prone position."
"A DC 15 Acrobatics check allows the character to avoid any damage from the first 10 feet fallen and converts any damage from the second 10 feet to nonlethal damage. Thus, a character who slips from a ledge 30 feet up takes 3d6 damage."

Why thank you AD. :)
SotS, I don't think that would work. The DC 15 Acrobatics check only prevents you from becoming prone when you fall. If you're already prone when falling, you'll still be prone even if you make that check.
Why not teleport away 5 feet, stand and take your 5 foot step then?
The magic item you want is boots of the cat.
"These high-soled blue boots provide a great deal of comfort and arch support while also making the wearer appear a little bit taller than normal. The boot's wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls (as if the GM had rolled a 1 on each die of damage incurred by the fall) and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet."

The problem with Teleport + Boots of the Cat to stand up lies in the Conjuration portion of the CRB's Magic section.
A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it.
While specifically designed to prevent summoning/teleporting large animals/heavy objects on top of people to fall on them, it also prevents teleporting yourself into the air with intent to fall (unless you have a fly speed, then it's kinda a DM call.)
Well its not really a problem with boots of the cat. Its simply a problem with teleport at all. E.g, you could not teleport/feather fall or teleport/some acrobatics DC either.
But I thank you for the piece of information, I'd overlooked that aspect of teleport limitation and had quite forgotten it existed.
I don't think you can make any actions after a teleport, or dimension door.
On a related note, can you use Acrobatics to tumble out of a threatened square when prone and in doing so avoid an AoO? Or are you basically FUBAR when prone? (I assume if you just lie there and don't do anything that there's no AoO and outside of a bonus to hit you, an enemy gets no other benefit?)
Also, if a player has Improved Trip, could they trip someone while they are prone and not have an AoO taken against them?
5ft step can only be taken if you do no other type of movement. I believe standing up counts as movement.
Movement in this case refers to actual movement from one grid square to another. While standing up takes a 'move action' it is not 'movement' for purposes of not being able to take a 5' step.

You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5.
Nothing prevents you from making attacks or combat maneuvers while prone, other than that you get a -4 to such attempts. So with Imp Trip you could attempt to trip someone while you are prone without provoking as per imp trip.

If this were explicitly true, transporting to the other side of the world would make you land on your head.
I think teleporting should allow you to choose stance and facing. You don't want to teleport to a rock face with your back to it, it is a long way down.
You would look silly standing on a chair rather than sitting in it.

You cannot trip lock someone. You cannot trip a person who is already prone or standing up from prone.
Claxon, I think that Tangent101 meant 'while the tripper is prone'. The second "they" in this case references the tripper rather than the tripee.

You know, upon further reading I can see that now, but that was not the way I initially read it.
Yeah, it is one of the reasons I try to avoid ambiguous terms like 'they' when there are multiple possible interpretations of who 'they' are.
