I was prescribed of ear drops by the doctor. No matter how much time I lie down, the drops are coming out of my ear once I get up. Is that normal?

Yes even if the drops comes out, if u keep lying down with the ear up for a while after putting the drops, the drops will produce its effect.

It's normal. Just lie down and press the part of the ear just in front of the canal. Are the drops for wax? If so, lie a little longer so that the drops get absorbed
