How is the entity going to know where its lowered posistion is? edit: I'll have the pic up in a sec.

Or you could use the lip key [definitions are in the entity menu] but i find that one much less intuitive than height -- the two are mutually exclusive. In your map, build the platform in its raised position, and quake will use the height value (or lip value) to determine where the plat starts off, and remains until someone steps on it. Here's a plat with the height key calculated from the difference between lowered and raised positions: Here's where the plat sits when it's lowered:
