With me it improved with time and practice. Early on I would get lucid and could not figure out where my body must be located. I am weird about training skills in LDs. I spent a couple of years doing this during my stabilization time. I would simply try to remember where I had parked my body. Eventually I was often able to remember that I was asleep in summer school vs safe at home. This allowed me to avoid sexy dreams while sleeping at my school desk, for fear my body would start humping or some thing.
It is hit or miss now. I often can remember a lot of details, like where I am sleeping, if I will be able to sleep late or if the alarm is set, if my wife should be in the bed with me, the rough time such as late spring of 2012, and maybe one or two major things going on currently in my life. I can use this now to keep on tasks I have set. The other 50% of the time I can not place if the dream makes sense sequentially in my life. Say I am 20 years younger in the dream, and know that is not correct, but can not guess within 5 years of what real life involves at the time.
