I believe you want the air to go as straight as possible into the horn. So I envision whatever tongue position allows the air to come up my throat, over the tongue, and enter smoothly into the mouthpiece. So my clarinet sticks out a little more to be "in line" with my preferred, and stable, tongue position.

For me, it's pretty high in the back. I can feel the sides of my molars with the sides of my tongue, and tip lined up with the Reed.
