is lying/standing in tranquility at the entrance

I would not agree to "be put/placed quietly", because we usually say:
He is standing quietely near the river.

but we seldom say:
The boat is quietly tied up to a boat near the river.

"Quietly" addresses the environment where the object is located, but it cannot be imposed directly on the object.

As for "lying/standing", you need to find a word that best suits the object you are describing.
