A sitting President usually has considerable influence in his party. He can do much to direct and shape legislation. He can twist arms of maverick party members in Congress and can campaign for those he favors. He also has control of a lot of federal money which he can direct to the districts and states of Congressmen who help him. What role he takes after he leaves office is up to him.

The president is the most visible member of party and so always has some influence. However, presidents do not always control their party. John Tyler, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur were examples of Presidents who had little power in their parties. Jimmy Carter won the nomination mostly by primary campaigns and was never really a party leader. Some presidents like Truman, Eisenhower and Clinton took on greater party leadership roles after they become President.
