So what's the best orientation for a standby shakelight in a car, horizontally, front to rear, side to side, at an angle, vertical ??

To mount it or to shake it? Personally, I'd skip the shakelight and go with a crank light or a squeeze-light. 
Mounting? I'd suggest leaving it horizontally.
Shaking it, you probably should do that horizontally too, with the risk of bumping the window or a person behind you depending on how the car's set up. I'd say a crank or squeeze light would be a better flashlight to keep in the car, even if it has a few more parts to break.

Hubcap won't work, unless you drive very slowly, centrifugal force will keep magnet at one end
Vertically might work where I live, loads of speed bumps !!

I vote horizontally - as you make turns the magnet will shift from one end to the other. Drive down a curvy road at a decent clip and you've got a charged light!
