No satellites stays exactly still as they could not remain in orbit, but probably you are meaning a geostationary satellite. The orbit of these satellites matches the speed of the earth turning underneath them, so they remain above the same geographical point on the earth.

How does a satellite stay in one place?

For a satellite to stay in one place over the earth, the satellite must be going in orbit in the same direction that the earth spins.
