The core rules state that a Normal Summon places the monster in face-up Attack position, and a Set places it in face-down Defense position. Special Summons are face-up Attack or Defense position, unless stated otherwise.
If the continuous Trap card 'Light of Intervention' is active, monsters can be Normal Summoned in face-up Defense position.

You can then Flip Summon it when possible.
