does double duty, place and time. As a question word it opens a direct question ("where?"); tuck the same question inside another verb and the clause becomes an indirect question, which puts its verb into the SUBJUNCTIVE: sit. As a conjunction of time with a perfect indicative it means "when, as soon as".
Note that asks about position only. Motion towards is , motion from is , and the answering adverbs are ("there") and ("from there"). English lets "where" cover all of these; Latin does not.
