This is variable and unpredictable, sometimes they will stand stationary on a single spot for a long time then suddenly move away at high velocity.

Why do you go to a ditch during a tornado?

Despite it being a funnel, you are less likely to be pulled into a tornado if you are below ground level. The wind tend to go over the ditch more than they go into it. Additionally, the ground around you can shield you from flying debris, the biggest danger in a tornado. Keep in mind, though that a ditch is only to be used as a last resort. If there is a sturdy building nearby go there instead.
