I'd like to challenge you on that. Who is it awkward to? Do you look at someone on the train holding their bag and think negatively of them? Are people in your life judging you for how you sit on the train?
Not trying to suggest you need to change, but it's not awkward to hold ones belongings.
It would be awkward if you were gripping it tightly and straining to hold on, sure, but are you doing that?
I see what you're trying to say here. I usually take the train when commuting to work, and my work bag contains my laptop, power brick, notebook, etc. It's a quite a weight to carry around. So when I have to put it on my lap, it can be physically awkward because I'm limited in how I can place my legs while balancing this weight.
What I was trying to say with awkward, is a physical awkwardness. Though I guess when I look back at it, inconvenient or uncomfortable might have been a better choice of words. English is not my first language and I sometimes choose the wrong words :)
Anyway, I don't really care about what people think of me if I have my bag on my lap.
