You should do dynamic movements aimed at opening up the hips, and other tight areas, along with some foam rolling when you warmup.
Joe Defranco has the agile 8
Static stretching should be done when the muscles are completely warmed up, so probably save it for the end of the workout.
I do the agile 8, or some form of it, then foam roll my hips and IT band for about 5 min, and then some more hip openers, then start at a lower weight for each lift. So if I'm going for a 350# squat, I'll go 5x135#, 5x185#, 5x225#, 3x275#, and then move on.
