Walking is for schmucks. Luckily, some wealthy, Blue Blood people are rich enough to employ (or compel) schmucks to do the walking for them!
A character tends to travel everywhere in a sedan chair, litter or palanquin, or is otherwise propelled by the leg power of other people. This is evidence for their wealth and power, and depending on the setting can also indicate laziness, pettiness or both. If it crosses over (as it often does) with Adipose Rex, it may be implied that the king is actually unable to walk, at least not very far, because of his corpulence.
May be a case of the Ermine Cape Effect if they only do it when they're trying to look regal, rather than every day.
Truth in Television from the 1600s to the early 1800s, as horse-drawn carriages weren't always practical in narrow streets but powerful people didn't want to be seen walking around like normal people or soil their fine clothes. Of course, riding in a palanquin had advantages during time periods where the central sewage system ran down the middle of the road. Rickshaws are a slightly more Boring, but Practical variation still around today.
It's important that the character communicate their superiority by getting someone else to do the footwork for them: people getting around via telekinesis, personal electric vehicle or horse aren't really in the spirit of the trope. Obviously there are grey areas: non-sentient humanoid drones are likely an attempt to evoke the trope in a Speculative Fiction setting, while a Funny Animal riding a regular horse may do so by accident.
Can involve a Road Trip Across the Street.

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers has Don Momotaro always entering riding his Cool Bike… carried on a palanquin by several dancers. He only actually uses for bike for Megazord battles or when he’s in a rush, the latter time prompting someone to remark “That’s still a super weird entrance. Why do you even need the palanquin?�

The Saga of Seven Suns: Ildiran Mage-Imperator is considered too holy and important to ever allow his feet to touch the ground. Subverted in the third book after Jora'h replaces his father in the position and quickly decides the tradition is stupid and abolishes it (as Mage-Imperator, he's allowed to do things like that).

It's mentioned in The Fifth Elephant and Thud! that the deep-downer dwarf grags ride in closed palanquins, borne by trolls. Officially this is due to them being unused to, and mistrustful of, sunlight, but it also sends a clear signal about their social status.

Seen several times in Discworld:
In Feet of Clay, the Patrician gives Vimes a sedan chair as a wedding present, which he is obligated to use. This is something of a double insult, as Vimes both loves walking (it helps him concentrate) and hates the idea of nobility being above the common people. Naturally, the one time it's seen, Vimes tells one of the servants to get in and carries the chair himself. (His legs are "beginning to give out" by the time he gets where he's going.)
It's mentioned in The Fifth Elephant and Thud! that the deep-downer dwarf grags ride in closed palanquins, borne by trolls. Officially this is due to them being unused to, and mistrustful of, sunlight, but it also sends a clear signal about their social status.
Downplayed with the "troll taxi" or "trolley bus" in Unseen Academicals. This consists of being carried in a pannier slung around the neck of a troll and is "really expensive", but apparently not beyond the means of a couple of working-class women, at least on special occasions. (But you get glared at by the other women in the street, because you're Giving Yourself Airs.)

In The Elenium trilogy by David Eddings, Otha, the Emperor of Zemoch, is an immortal graced with unimaginable magic powers by his god. He's also lazy and stupid, and over the millennia of his existence has morphed into something that is described as being roughly analogous to Jabba the Hutt in appearance. Otha can't even walk; he has to be carried around on a litter by slaves.

In Pocahontas, the original idea for Governor Ratcliffe was that he was constantly borne aloft on a chair by Putney and Chutney, two manservants who also didn't make the cut. The reason they discarded this was simple — he was easier to animate when he just walked.

American Dad!: This is Played for Laughs in an episode. Steve and his friends are LARPing their MMORPG characters, and since Steve (or "Agathor") is the strongest out of the four of them, he is the leader. "Agathor" randomly chooses not to use his muscles and demands his friends "walk him forward", so Snot and Barry literally move his legs in a walking motion for him.

Downplayed with the "troll taxi" or "trolley bus" in Unseen Academicals. This consists of being carried in a pannier slung around the neck of a troll and is "really expensive", but apparently not beyond the means of a couple of working-class women, at least on special occasions. (But you get glared at by the other women in the street, because you're Giving Yourself Airs.)

In A Brother's Price, once he's invited to the royal palace, Jerin doesn't walk anywhere in the capital city. Justified, as a pretty boy like Jerin would certainly attract kidnappers if he walked around in public. (He does walk when he's at home, but there, his sisters know where everyone lives, and everyone knows not to mess with the Whistler clan).

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Myne has the combined penalties of poor health, very young age and being small for said young age. Because of that, many people would much rather carry her than match the slow pace at which she needs to walk to conserve energy. When she learns to use magic to make what is essentially a moving animal statue to be used for aerial transport, she gets a lot of Mundane Utility out of it.

Farscape. "Rygel the XVI, Dominar to over 600 billion people" insists on traveling everywhere on his throne sled, though as he's a deposed Dominar it's a hoversled rather than one carried by people. As he's a very short amphibious alien, there's also pragmatism involved in zipping about the huge spaceship they travel on.

In Arthur and the Invisibles, this trope is not obvious initially, since the Minimoy King at first appears as an imposing figure (for 2 mm-tall characters, at least). However, it's soon revealed he's no taller than the average Minimoy, but riding on top of a Yeti-like humanoid with another ferret-like creature standing in for a long beard and hiding the King's body, Totem Pole Trench-style.

Dathan rides in a wagon pulled by other people in the beginning of the departure despite Joshua telling him he can pull his own cart. He does end up doing some pulling to get through the muddy ground, prompting Lilia to quip “so you like work so much?�

A Song of Ice and Fire: Sedan chairs and litters are common as status symbols in the Free Cities and Essos, but not so much in Westeros, where they're limited to lords who are too old, infirm and/or overweight to ride a horse.
Wyman Manderly is mocked as Lord Too-Fat-To-Sit-A-Horse, and plays into the trope for the sake of Obfuscating Disability.
Doran Martell, afflicted with gout, prefers a wheelchair but uses a litter for long trips or if he's in a lot of pain.
The very old and overweight Erik Ironbreaker strikingly inverts the litter-as-status-symbol trope, as the Asskicking Leads to Leadership Ironborn people would never buy it; when he suggests himself as a candidate to be the new king of the Ironborn, Asha Greyjoy publicly humiliates him by promising to support his claim if he can simply stand up.
Magister Illyrio travels everywhere in litters and palanquins. Some notable instances include when he takes Daenerys to meet Khal Drogo and when he smuggles Tyrion out of Pentos.
Daenerys rides in palanquins a number of times, such as when she visits the market at Vaes Dothrak, preferring to luxuriate in the soft cushions while her husband Khal Drogo isn't around to judge her.
The slavers of Slaver's Bay ride through the city streets in palanquins held by slaves. The Yunkish general Yurkhaz zo Yunzak rides a palanquin so large that it takes 40 slaves to life it.

Parodied on the Space Egypt planet — the pharaonic barge is rowed by slaves, and then walked onto land by more slaves who had apparently been underwater the entire time. When Bender becomes Pharaoh, he goes everywhere in a throne on the back of a kneeling Fry and Leela.
Despite being built into a bench that does his walking for him, Hedonismbot occasionally gets around this way.

Discussed in the Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella, Cinderella's stepsisters are told to cut off a part of their feet (one cut off her heel and the other her toe) in order to fit into Cinderalla's slipper, explaining that they won't need to walk again once they marry the prince. Into the Woods, which adapts this story along with several other fairy tales, provides the page quote.

The Fairly OddParents!:
The Pixies claim their ability to grant Flappy Bob's wishes comes from incredible wealth, and their ability to float is because "walking is for poor people".
In the episode "Remy Rides Again", Remy tries to make Timmy too happy to need Fairy Godparents so he'll lose Cosmo and Wanda. To accomplish this, Remy shares with Timmy the perks of being a spoiled child. One of those perks is taking a limo from the school yard to the classroom. Remy states that walking is for poor people without wealthy friends.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Link is sent to rescue Ruto and the Zora's Sapphire from Jabu-Jabu's belly, but she makes him carry her throughout the whole dungeon. Players can take out their frustration with her by throwing her around like a clay pot, and she even becomes a necessary game mechanic by serving as a weight to trip switches throughout the area.

Ganon rarely ventures into Hyrule himself in the animated The Legend of Zelda (1989), because his power is stronger when he remains in his own underworld. He risks it a few times, however; in the episode "The Ringer," in which he enters a magicians' competition in disguise, he arrives on a palanquin borne by skeletons (who are also disguised, since that would be a bit of a giveaway).

In Feet of Clay, the Patrician gives Vimes a sedan chair as a wedding present, which he is obligated to use. This is something of a double insult, as Vimes both loves walking (it helps him concentrate) and hates the idea of nobility being above the common people. Naturally, the one time it's seen, Vimes tells one of the servants to get in and carries the chair himself. (His legs are "beginning to give out" by the time he gets where he's going.)

Game of Thrones:
High-ranking members of the Royal Court who go on official tours of King's Landing are usually carried around in a palanquin. This is partially because many of the streets are too narrow for a horse and carriage, partially because of safety concerns; the one time the highly unpopular King Joffrey goes out on foot he is attacked by a mob of starving peasants.
While meeting with his grandfather Tywin, Joffrey starts to whine that he doesn't want to climb any stairs to attend the Small Council meetings in the Tower of the Hand. Tywin shuts him down (while towering over him) by pointing out that they could simply arrange for the King to be carried.

Coverton in the TV series uses a hoverchair to move about, since his spindly legs are useless on Earth's gravity.
General Monger uses a Jet Pack briefly on the movie, but he uses it to go everywhere in the series. When the base is trying to conserve energy in one episode, he has two soldiers carry him around in lieu of the jet pack.

Warhammer:
Champions and Daemonic heralds of Nurgle are occasionally gifted with palanquins carried by a mass of tiny Daemons called Nurglings.
Warhammer Fantasy:
Dwarf kings are fond of being carried on shields. Thorgrim Grudgebearer, the High King, is carried around on his throne by four guards, as tradition demands that he only be allowed to sit on his throne. Notably, being the High King's throne carrier is a position of great honor and only given to respected and accomplished warriors.
In older editions, Slann were carried around by their Praetorian Guard. This was eventually dropped in favor of using magically floating thrones.
The ogre warlord Greasus Goldtooth is carried on the bare hands of gnoblars. Lots and lots of gnoblars. Greasus exemplifies pretty much all the rationales behind this trope, being monstrously obese, incredibly petty, massively wealthy and keen to display his status to all concerned (and bonus points for actually having a special rule called "Too rich to walk").
Skaven warlords can ride to the battlefield on top of a Rat Ogre, a gigantic plague-ridden Rodent of Unusual Size, or a shield carried by slaves and guarded by the warlord's personal elite. Grey Seers can ride to battle on top of a gigantic church bell wagon pushed by normal rank-and-file skaven, while Plague Priests who replace the bell with a sphere filled with burning raw chaos stuff. This can potentially kill the unit pushing it, so only the most devoted (and insane) skaven can do it.

Invoked in The Land of Painted Caves. Ayla creates a padded chair that can be attached to a travois and drawn by a horse for Zelandoni Who is First to use. Because domesticated animals are nigh unheard of in the setting, seeing the First being carried by a horse is quite awe-inspiring. It's also justified; Zelandoni is overweight and getting on in years, so travelling long distances on foot is difficult for her.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In general, any example of a pony riding in a vehicle (other than the steam-powered trains) fits this trope, as these vehicles are invariably pulled by other ponies. Sometimes they take turns.
When the famous fashion photographer Photo Finish travels, she goes around on a palanquin supported by two other ponies. This is even lampshaded when Hoity Toity is hitching a ride on her platform:
In "Magic Duel", Trixie forces Snips and Snails to drag her around on a small cart without wheels (because she finds wheels untrustworthy). She later turns the cart into a huge, lavishly decorated wagon, still without wheels, and makes the colts drag that as well.
When Princess Celestia has to leave the palace, she's often on a chariot pulled by pegasi, even though she has wings and can(and often does) fly herself.
In the IDW Friends Forever comics, Shining Armor calls out Prince Blueblood's palanquin for the opulent display that this trope entails. The servants actually defend Blueblood, saying they enjoy the job benefits and appreciate how the weight is distributed painlessly across their shoulders. At the end, the palanquin is used to cart home all the souvenirs, gifts and trade goods Blueblood managed to acquire through savvy dealing, while he walks on his own without any problems whatsoever.

Asterix:
Chief Vitalstatistix is carried by two shield bearers. Frequent Running Gags are made of the facts that he's rather overweight and his bearers are of different heights. And then there's the additional Running Gag in which he falls off the shield for some reason at least once per story.
There is one story where Vitalstatistix's shield bearers quit, and he appoints Asterix and Obelix as their replacements. Since the height difference between them is even greater than the usual shield bearers', this doesn't work out so well. The obvious solution of having Obelix do it by himself was rejected as making Vitalstatistix feel unmanly (a half-pint, in fact, leading to the next panel of Obelix carrying him one-handed like a waiter all the funnier).
Also, whenever Cleopatra suddenly shows up some place, she's always sitting on a gigantic golden sphinx-shaped chair on wheels pulled by slaves flanked by dancers and trumpeters. She has at least once referred to one such appearance as "dropping by incognito" (she also once managed to sneak up behind Julius Caesar this way without him noticing until he was told he had a visitor).
A chief of a Gallo-Roman village also has a pair of shield-bearers. When he turns his back on someone, the shield-bearers also turn so that they may leave — which leaves him facing the person he turned his back on.

The Book of Boba Fett. It's noted that important people on Tatooine usually use litters, and that Boba Fett, the new crime lord of Mos Espa, stands out for choosing to walk. In contrast we see the Twins, Jabba the Hutt's cousins, being carried by more than a dozen human servants who are visibly straining under their combined weight. Not that Hutts can "walk" that much anyway.

Master Blaster in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome is an odd version: Master piggybacks everywhere on the shoulders of Giant Mook Blaster. Unlike most examples of this trope, Master genuinely cares for Blaster. It's also like the Goblin/Ogre pairing from Warcraft in the Video Games section: Master is much smarter and more tactically adept, but Blaster has more raw brawn than Master could ever hope to posses.
