What you're describing is a workplace with a generally broken approach to meetings. The best thing you can do with standup in this environment may be to eliminate it, or minimize it as you've described. But there is often a place for a standup meeting in many work environments, and barring the other stuff I'd suggest before lunch is a good time - anchored to another interruption that would happen anyway, and provides an incentive to finish quickly without making it a hard stop.
