Here is a web site for you: http://linear-software.com/online.html
I think the best time to take your measurements is first thing in the morning. Ideally, you should take your measurements at the same time under the same circumstances. This is for consistancy.
Also, take your measurements before you workout, not after.

Check HERE (http://www.musclemaster.net/body-fat-percentage.html), HERE (http://www.netrition.com/calipers.html) and HERE (http://ectomatter.com/2006/05/15/measuring-your-body-fat/).
MEN
Site---Direction of fold Measurement
Chest - Diagonal Fold is taken 1/2 the distance between the anterior auxiliary line and nipple.
Abdominal - Vertical Fold is taken vertical 2 cm lateral to the umbilicus.
Thigh - Vertical Fold is lifted on anterior aspect of thigh midway between inguinal crease and proximal border of patella. Body weight is shifted to left foot.
The same convenient time each week, do all measurements and weighing. Keep track so you know what is happening to body during cut or bulk..
