Try to load a pose as a "Pose Preset". This will load the pose just about where the person is located. To convert a pose to a pose preset, simply add a pose to your figure and save this as a pose preset.
There are some plugins from the time before we had those "pose presets" that helps you to move a pose to a certain spot, so you can save it to appear where you want it to appear. Very helpful if you are creating complicated custom scenes. The name of those plugins are: MovePoseWithoutRoot and ReHomePerson
