That's not what the spell says.
Creatures within the blade barrier when it is invoked take the damage - negated with a successful Reflex Save provided they leave by the shortest route possible.
After that, if you enter or pass through, you automatically take damage.
By the wording, if you're in it when it is invoked and elect not to leave by the shortest route possible, you take the damage. After that, you only take damage if you enter it or pass through it. If you stand still, you're doing neither.
Likewise, if you enter it, you take damage, but if you then don't pass through it or enter it again, you're fine.

If you go buy what they mean instead of exactly what they say, then you take damage every round.
I don't find it reasonable for a spinning plane of blades to shape itself around you if you don't move. I think that if that was the intended behavior, they would have mentioned it specifically.
