Let's take the sentence, "Shut the door!" for an example of an imperative sentence.

The verb is shut. Then you ask the question "Who is being told to shut the door?" You are...so you is the subject.

Now it is more common to leave out the you and just say: Shut the door!

In this case, there is something called an understood you.

So some more examples:

Please be quiet! = (you) Please be quiet = you is the subject

Treat others the way you want to be treated = (you) treat others... you is the subject

Summary: YOU IS THE SUBJECT IN AN IMPERATIVE SENTENCE.
