The subject of the sentence is "you."
As in (re-ordering the words):
You (subject) do spell (verb) that (object) how (adverb, modifying verb)?
Compare:
I (subject) do make (verb) that (object) quickly (adverb, modifying verb).
Or
Quickly do I make that.

i think your subject in the sentence "can someone please tell me where the subject of this sentence is?" i believe is the question itself. 'how do you spell that' i would say the person you are talking about because you are saying how do they spell it, not how is it spelled.

the subject of this sentence is implied toward the person you are talking about

The sentence form of this would be: You do spell that, so:
You= subject
do spell= verb (compound verb...meaning two words)

YOU is the subject.
I thought that was the correct answer but just to be sure I asked my hubby who's an English professor.
