Items returning to their drop place is not fixed and it's a recurring "bug", but there's a somehow easy solution. Drop on the ground all the items you want to place and don't touch them, then exit the house and enter it again. You can now place them where you want and they will not move no matter how much time passes. Remember, if you accidentally pick up an item to your inventory, then you have to exit and re-enter the house again after dropping it. Cellars in homesteads don't count as exiting the house, I'm not sure why (tested in Lakeview Manor); this is especially annoying if you want to decorate your cellar, since you have to go all the way outside and then back in the cellar.
