On a shelf, in the garage perhaps.

I got a few ammo cans that just sit on the shelf in my garage, until I find a use for them in the jeep. I imagine I would do the same with Jerry cans if I had some.

Be sure to put a fuel stabilizer in it if you are keeping gas in it - it's cheap insurance against any issues.

I only filled it once for a long trip but now it's empty sitting in the garage.... Should I fill it with fuel or a stabilizer?

Keep it empty when not in use.
Drain it and let it dry. Put the cap on.
That's how I've been using mine for the past 40 years. (Yikes!!)
