If there is a basement or storm cellar, go there. If you're in a one-story house, go to the center of the house and get underneath something like a large sturdy table. If the house collapses, with any luck the table will hold things up long enough to be rescued.
If you are outdoors, get in a ditch or the lowest par of the nearby land.

Generally you should shelter in place during a tornado as you are more likely to survive if caught in your house than if caught in a car.
