That is application dependent like whether we want to use all bits or not.
Where does bit 0 of the block go? And where does bit 0 of the key go?

According to the paper what I understood is as follows but it can be wrong
as well..
0th bit of block will go to the 0th bit of word.
0th bit of key will go to 0th bit of word.
11th bit of block will go to the 0th bit of 11th word
11th bit of key will go to the 0th bit of 11th word.
Then, supposed we have two DES blocks to encrypt with two different keys.

0th bit of 2nd block will go to the 2nd bit of first word
0th bit of 2nd key will go to the 2nd bit of first word.
11th bit of 2nd block will go to the 2nd bit of 11th word
11th bit of 2nd key will go to the 2nd bit of 11th word
