[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2713667, member: 2011"] It depends: "Take 5-Foot Step You can move 5 feet in any round when you don’t perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can’t take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round when you move any distance.

The creature also still has his speed while prone. Whether he can use that speed or not to move could be considered irrelevant to whether he has that speed.
