Because it can be an entanglement hazard you don't wan tto have somewhere on your bc where it would snag or get hung up on things. Obviously attached to your mask wouldn't be good, it interfers with the long hose. I have seen divers place it under the harness back towards the tank so it is stowed and out of the way. but i think the best option would be to get one of those folding snorkels and put it in your pocket.
I personally just breath from my reg, as if I had no emergencies during the dive and had proper gas management, then I should have pleanty of air in my tank to breath from if the surface conditions were a little more than just wavey.

I don't generally take a snorkel with me unless I know it's going to be a long surface swim, but I have seen people strap it to their leg like you would a knife.
There are flexable snorkels that roll up nowdays that you could stuff in a pocket. Dont really know why you would want one though. Are you diving Hogarthian style, or just wondering about it? As this is a "DIR forum" -- it might not be aproprate to post this question here, as most "divers" here dont use snorkels. If you are than have at it. Just watch out for the Trolls...
Straped to the leg that a good idea. As long as it is safe.

IF you wear a leg knife, slide it under the straps that hold the sheath, intake (top) down. I use the old type, non-flexible snork, and all I have to do is reach down and grab the mouthpiece (looks like a hook) and pull it out.

A "safe entanglement hazard"? Interesting concept.JPBECK:
Kinda like fuzzy handcuffs.
