I do a lot of pp, so need to press after each seam is sewn. I have a short plastic stacked drawer cart on wheels to the right of my chair, with a Quilter's Square 'n Press on top of it. It's just the right size for those small pressing jobs. Otherwise, my ironing board with the enlarged table on top is right behind me, about 3' away, when I need a larger press surface.

Yes, in order for the block to stay flat and "know" that I have pressed them correctly before I go to the next step I always press as I go. It keeps me out of trouble later :-D

My board is in the lounge room so I am getting some exercise going back and forwards between the sewing machine and the ironing board.
