Generally, long pressing on any blank space in any typing field should pop up the clipboard. Failing that, open the dial pad, and long press on the blank space above the numbers...

You can't "locate" the clipboard, you can only use it - by copying, cutting and pasting.

As for where it's located, it's in an area of system RAM (temporary memory) designated as the clipboard. Even if you could access it with a memory monitor app of some kind, it's usually not human-readable. (Text sort of is [but memory monitors usually display in hex, not in alpha-numeric, so if you copied an A, all you'd see is a 41], but if you copy a song, then paste it somewhere else [or move it, which is cutting, then pasting] or do it with a picture or a video, all that's in the clipboard is a system-readable link to the file - you won't see the picture, or be able to play the song.)
