If I am closest to the pin (i.e., last to putt) and no one wants it tended, I pull the pin and carry it to the fringe and lay it down.

If someone wants it tended, I pull the pin out of the center of the cup and rest it on the bottom of the cup, up against the back wall. If the wind is blowing, I grip the flag around the pin so it doesn't flutter. Once the putt is struck, I wait until the ball is about halfway to the hole, then I pull the pin completely and lay it down out of the way.

If I am first to hole out, I put my putter away, then pick up the flagstick (again, holding the flag so it doesn't flutter) and wait for the last person to putt out. Then I replace it.

No clue is this is the generally accepted etiquette though.
