In arena.conf put this:
[Spawn]
Team0-X = 512
Team0-Y = 30
Team0-Radius = 3

It's possible, but you have to edit some files during compile time. The settings for spawn in quickfix have always been wrong.

My question is similar to this and falls under the topic title. How can I make the player enter the game in the same location when they left?

You would have to use player tracking through position packets, and then store the per-player data when a player's action == PA_LeaveArena, then you would dig in the per-player data to warpto the coords when paction == PA_EnterArena. I think the most simple way to get this done would be by having the player type a command or use safe-zones before they leave, so you dont have to check their positions at all times. I believe this would be possible in python, if you know a bit, you can just steal some code from smong's "Open doors with safe zone" module, and check out per-player data, as well as a bit on player action and it should be pretty easy. At least, all this is what i think, i havent messed with asss for a while now.

You would have to store the player's last position, then warp them to that spot when they change ships.

It's not a terribly complicated module, if you've got a few under your belt.
