Question:
May I light the hanukkiah indoors and then move it in front of the entrance to my home?
Answer:
No, one may not do so. One should light the hanukkiah in the same location as one will leave it. As the gemara says in Masecheth Shabbath, Amud 23A: "Hadlakah Oseh Mitzvah"
See Rambam, Hilchoth Channukah, Perek 4, Halacha 9
