Default Placement of jack stands

I need to work under my car. If I lift the car up with the oem jack where do I place the jack stands?

there are some pretty big jack/stand plates under the front (join to the front suspention mounts, on the chassis rail) and the back (again on the chassis rail), they're easy to spot, use a block of wood on them though, the front ones can bend in the middle if you get the stand in the wrong place... if you can avoid it, don't use the OE jack, at the back you can lift both wheels by jacking under the very back of the diff, again use a block of wood, not sure about the front I tend to use two trolley jacks under the jack plates rather than axel stands...
