I have my iPhone in a case which is slightly grippy. I usually wear shirts with collars. My shirts are usually tucked into my trousers. With all the above being the case, I place my iPhone face-up on my shoulder under my shirt with the collar against the lower part of the phone. Of course, I have already set up the navigation app (usually Apple Maps nowadays). The iPhone is slightly tilted against my neck and the speaker is directed toward my ear. As I use a guide dog, my arm and shoulder are quite stable. Besides, if the phone slides off my shoulder it drops between my shirt and my back, and is stopped by my trousers.
