If you mean which direction do I look to see the Space Station the answer is it depends. The Space Station is orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour so it's not going to appear stationary.
You cannot see the Space Station during the daytime because the sky is too bright, and you cannot see it in the middle of the night because it's too close to the Earth to catch any reflected light from the sun. Which leaves right before sunrise and right after sunset as the only viewing opportunities and of course it has to be in your area.

How can they work outside of the space station if it is traveling at 17500 mph?
Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.
