"Where am I and my sister?"

Think about it:
My sister and I are going to the store.
My sister and I are now at the store.
My sister and I are where?
Where are my sister and I?
Don't semantically muddle the issue by relocating "I" before "sister" in order to lean on the seeming rightness of "I am." However you decide to say it, though, "my sister and I" or the more egomaniacal "I and my sister," it doesn't change the fact that it calls for the first-person plural conjugation of the verb "to be," also known as the "we" conjugation.
my sister and I are where?
I and my sister are where?
would be natural and gramatic ways of asking the question, which brings you to rearranging into another semantically correct form of the question:
where are my sister and I?
