In light of this article, I think static stretches are probably best done after working out or separately. You still need flexibility, so static stretches still need to be done at some point.
I agree that the static stretches can be done separately. I have always been told (not that I agree or disagree at this point) that stretching after a full workout is "bad for you". Again, I don't know if this is true or not, but I figured that I would mention it to stir up some more debate!
