Another way that is quite good to teach a horse to stand when mounting is to use the corner of a yard.
Face your mount into the corner, close enough that he is aware that he has a fence on either side.
Using the mounting block, or whatever you use to mount, mount and dismount time and time again. You dont have to necessarily move him off when you do this exercise either.
Put in the time teaching him to let you mount, then take him back and put him away.
He will then learn that you may not be going off on him all the time.
