Obviously flat side down. standing on the snout is probably going to topple over

I think the proper way is to put the knot for the noose on the side. That way it makes for a quick snap in the area of C7. OTOH, if you're pissed and feeling like you need a little revenge, put the knot in the back and go for some slow stragulaion. Additionally, you can untie the hands and feet for a little more kicking entetainment.
