By dint of inserting little iron filings with sockets on either ends into the blood stream, one could create a sub-dermal exoskeleton.
As a the flick of large 1930's style Frankenstein film type switch all the iron bits would interlock so providing extra rigidity to the body...handy for emergency situations or just when there's no chair to sit on.
Also handy for survival situations, simply suspend self from object with a handy liana and you would automatically orient north-south.

I prefer subdermal exoskeleton, as it's above the bones, and just under the skin in the case of capillaries.
Obviously some of the veins and arteries are beneath the bones (ribcage) around the heart so I'd have to go for a "just below the skin but partly below the skeleton exo-endo-skeleton" which is just silly.
Should Ironperson cut themselves shaving, then it would be a part-exo-endoskeleton.
