I commonly see people spread out and stand with their backs to each wall, facing the center. You can still see the floor indicator easily when standing to one side like that. Of course, if there's only a couple floors, you may not need to look.

Sure, if your back's to the wall you can turn your head to look at the floor umber. I don't think anyone would think standing there is strange.
