You can feel like you are still standing, but you were actually moving — fast. It depends on where you are on the globe, you could be spinning through space at over 1,000 miles an hour. People on the part of equator move the fastest, while the one whi is standing on the North or South pole would be perfectly still. (Imagine a basketball spinning on your finger. A random point on the ball's equator has farther to go in a single spin as a point near your finger. Thus, the point on the equator is moving faster.)
