I tend to stand on the corner of the D or towards the corner of the 18yd on the side that the kick is being taken from. Once I am happy that the ball is in the arc I will focus on the players and manage anything there. I don't tend to do more than a quick glance at the kicker during this time.
Since reading this thread I do tend to mix it up a bit with positioning, but the above is my go-to one.
