I made a long pocket on the side of every pair of pants I own and I store my wand in it at all times. I made my pocket on the left side, as I happen to be left handed, and I find it easier to just reach down and grab it. I've been doing it for about a year now and I'm pretty quick with it. I also have a pocket sewn into each right sleeve of my robes to store my wand... in that case it's easier to reach across.
