I understand that one must wait in line and take your chances about getting in. Does anyone know how early you have to be there to get in and where exactly you wait?
Thank you!

In order to attend one of the Wednesday noontime Prime Minister’s question time, one must be a U.K. Resident and apply for tickets through the Member of Parliament representing you.
Anyone can attend a parliamentary session when it is in session in either the House of Commons or House of Lords by lining up with your passport along the sidewalks adjacent to St. Margaret Street, on the northern side of the Houses of Parliament.

The above is not entirely accurate.
This is the official Parliamentary page on the matter- https://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/watch-committees-and-debates/prime-ministers-questions/
Tickets (for guaranteed entry) are only available to UK residents, but anyone can queue up for if there is space available on the day. You may or may not get in, even if you arrive at the crack of dawn, depending on space available.
Or you might get lucky, arrive at 1145 and get straight in.
On the map on the above file it is the Cromwell Green Entrance- point 9
