I have this same problem but I have noticed that as I save out my own prefabs they load into the same place as I initially saved them out as prefabs, when I have loaded other peoples prefabs it seems they load to the same co-ordinates as they were initially saved out by whoever made them, I have not found a way around this but I think I know why it happens

Generally save your prefab at (0 0 0) for standardization.

You will have to move it when you add it to a map though.

When i need to move a small object a great distance I usually create a big extra brush. Select them all together, zoom out and move it by dragging the big brush. Then delete the temp brush.
