To find the percentage of desks that the students are currently sitting at, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of students}}{\text{Total number of desks}} \right) \times 100
\]

In this case, there are 15 students and 24 desks. Plugging in the numbers:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{15}{24} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{15}{24} = 0.625
\]

Now converting it to a percentage:

\[
0.625 \times 100 = 62.5
\]

Therefore, the percentage of desks that the students are currently sitting at is **62.5%**.

The correct answer is **C. 62.5%**.
