Because I hate having NPCs dragged all over the level, it's messy, causes lag, and a pain in the bum when you have to go back to edit a level.

So, I store them in a univeral location, neatly stacked and oriented on a level specifically for the map NPCs. If I need to edit tiles, I can do so without clutter, if I need to edit NPCs, I can access them all very easily, besides, you can only put NPCs on absolute x,y and most of the time I need them at like x.5,y.3 or something, so putting them where they actually go doesn't help anyways.
