Pleasantly aware of standing high (5)
I believe the answer is:
proud
This clue could be a double definition.
'pleasantly aware of standing' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'high' is the second definition.

Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for proud that I've seen before include "With high self-opinion" , "Self-respect, feeling of self-worth" , "Feeling gratified or arrogant" , "Slightly projecting from a surface" , "Having a high opinion of oneself" .)
