Depends on the firearm, what you are shooting, and where you are. With a rifle, firing from a supported position, such as a benchrest is the most accurate. In the field, the prone position is most accurate. However, that does not work well if you are in waist deep grass, or duck hunting with a shotgun. With a handgun, a two handed shooting stance is most accurate, and using a support makes that better.
