In space you would be moving towards the planet. Once you reach the gravitational pull of the planet you would then begin to be pulled "down" towards the planet. Regardless of where you are on the planet gravity will always pull you down towards the center of the planet.
Where you are standing, look down at your feet. Thats the direction gravity will always pull you.
