Сейчас будет первый вопрос.
Обычный порядок
Четыре места: вопросительное слово — was или were — подлежащее — форма на -ing.
Where were you staying?
Тот самый вопрос
What were you doing at the time? — обычный способ спросить, чем человек был занят, а в иной обстановке — стандартный вопрос следствия.
Ответ идёт в Continuous; событие, которое его прервало, — в Simple:
I was walking the dog when I heard the alarm.
Когда who — подлежащее
Перестановки нет, потому что переставлять не с чем:
- Who was making that noise?
- What was happening outside?
Они берут was, даже если ответ окажется во множественном числе.
How long о законченном отрезке
How long were you waiting? спрашивает об отрезке, который закончился. Если ожидание продолжается, вопрос уходит в Present Perfect Continuous: How long have you been waiting?

Ошибки, которых стоит избегать
Неверно: What you were doing? верно: What were you doing?
Вспомогательный глагол идёт перед подлежащим.
Неверно: Who was he driving the car? верно: Who was driving the car?
Когда who и есть водитель, второго подлежащего нет.
