Compared to the instruments of the orchestra the guitar is still quite modern, but they are featured as soloists in guitar concertos.
It mostly depends upon the original composer. If the composer didn't include the guitar as one of the instruments he wrote the piece for, then chances are it won't be used. It's the composer who determines which instruments are to be used in his/her piece, not the conductor or musicians.
There is no guitar in a standard symphony orchestra. If the orchestra is playing a guitar concerto, the guitarist would sit in front of the orchestra, near the conductor, as would any other soloist.
No, unless a particular piece of music calls for a guitar in which case the orchestra can be supplemented.
The harp and guitar are both, sometimes used in the orchestra ( the harp more than the guitar ). The instrument known as the "harp-guitar" is a very rare hybrid instrument. Most of its repetoire is in solo pieces and chmber music. It is not a regular member of the symphony orchestra.

Don't you mean "why isn't a guitar in an orchestra" Orchestras have traditional arrangements and the guitar is not part of that. They weren't around when the orchestra form was invented and it would be too weird to include a guitar in an orchestra now.
