I have a couple of ways. I keep most of my chisels in a wall mounted rack. This is about an arm's reach to the side of my bench. The rack design is from Chris Becksvoort's tool cabinet. Easy to make. Only bad thing is if you add or delete chisels, you have to redo it, if you're as OCD as me about having them in order.
Then I keep a set of chisels in a box, which comes out of a drawer and sits on the bench when in use. This is handy and portable, I like it a lot.
