If you were already lying down and the opponent entered the room in a standing stance, you would most likely win, because you're a much smaller target in a lower position than he would have expected. The short second his brain would need to realize you were in a prone posture, it would be too late.

Besides, soldiers may not do it in a CQB situation in the real world, but if they needed to do so, they would be perfectly able to it in an instant.
That's my point...

Cannot be done. Hardcoded.

There's a delay for going from prone to stand and after jumping. That's it. Trust me, if we could add a delay for Stand/Crouch -> Prone and Stand <-> Crouch, we would have done so several releases ago.

That said, thanks to the 1.5 patch giving us deviation upon prone code, prone-diving will be completely useless in 0.9.
