In order to take a shower we must stand inside of the shower stall.
In order to take a bath we must sit inside of the bath tub.

The quick way to say these ideas would then be-
I take a shower.
I take a bath.
These are telling someone what you are doing.

I am in the shower.
I am in the tub.
These are telling someone where you are. The assumption is that if you are in the shower you must be showering, and if you are in the tub you must be bathing.
