Jack it up with the bit just in line with the rear of the front wheel arch (side of the arch nearest the boot), there's a bit with a big hole in it that's meant to be there. I use the side of that, if I'm doing the back it just gets put under the rear beam.
Unless you're using one of those (scissor) jack with the little slot cut out of a folded metal pad you shouldn't be using the sills to jack the thing.
