Hi Kankun.
Horsemen rested their lances upright at the stirrup buckets, and eventually held by devices called toyles, placed on the armour cuisses ( thighs ).
I thaught that infantrymen rested their polearms upright on the ground and, when marching, loosely against their shoulders

Others will know better.
