Today's depictions most often put the head in the back, for sake of an aerodynamic appearance (and for similarity with an exhaust pipe or jet engine). This is Awesome but Impractical, as brooms weren't designed to be ridden upon. You would crash more than on a motorcycle, and would then fall from very high up. Upright vacuum cleaners are a modern subversion of the broom idea. This page (warning: NSFW) not only mentions an example from 1923, but calls it a trope. Not to be confused with the Magic Carpet, which is also a flying object but has unrelated origins and applications. For the Speculative Fiction version see Rocket Ride. Compare Sky Surfing, in which various flying objects are ridden on while standing. Examples of Flying Broomstick include: The broom flies with the witch sitting on it, and can be navigated to fly in any direction the witch wants. The broom also seems to magically keep the witch in place, preventing him/her from falling off.
