Everyone seems to be assuming that you have a big fan which actually changes the air flow in the whole room in a major way. If that's the case, great, put it any way you like - it doesn't matter.
For people like me, who use a cheap fan in the summer. Put it in front of you facing towards you. You will feel cooler.
