It would be correctly written as "He always sits in the corner". The word "sit" would be used as in "Come sit by me" or "I told my dog to sit". Sits is used in the present tense; as in "She sits next to the fountain" or "He sits at his computer".

Sat would be the past tense. "He sat in the corner"

Also keep in mind at/in/on change depending on the location, some crossover is acceptable but often using the wrong will sound unnatural.

Examples:

He sat in the corner of the room.

He sat at the corner of the table.

He sat on the corner of the street.
