Electricity will always find its way to Earth through the easiest route. As such, you are most likely to be struck by lightning if you provide the easiest route for an electrical current to earth itself. So, if you are holding a large, highly conductive metal pole in the middle of a field during a thunderstorm, where your large conductive metal pole is the closest path to earth for an electrical charge in the air, then the current will pass down the pole, through you, to earth. Voila.
