Hardly anywhere. Bayonets were originally developed as a infantryman's defence against cavalry charges. There were hardly any of those in WW I and soldiers quickly discovered that a long and heavy rifle with a long bayonet at the end was practically useless for close combat fighting against other infantry soldiers.
So most soldiers decided to use it only as a knife. They often shortened it to make it more managable and used it as a tool, and - on rare occasions, since this was mainly a war of big guns and machine guns - as a sort of dagger in close combat.
Although bayonets remained a fixture in infantry soldiers' standard weaponry kits for many decades afterwards and 'bayonet training' persisted in many armies'training schedules until the 1960s, WW I proved to be the end of the bayonet as an effective weapon.
