How do I use all the handlebar positions?

I'm new to road riding... I typically stick my hands on top of the hoods, 'cause I felt most secure there- and now after a few hundred miles I'm wondering when to use what position. I played around with switching my hands on the bars from hoods to drops and back again until I didn't feel like I was going to go down in a big flaming fireball of crashing destruction and twisted aluminum the instant I removed so much as a pinky finger from the hoods. So, now that I can reliably switch around, what do I do?
