Had the same problem. My solution is next:

$("#element").droppable({
    drop: function( event, ui ) {

        // position of the draggable minus position of the droppable
        // relative to the document
        var $newPosX = ui.offset.left - $(this).offset().left;
        var $newPosY = ui.offset.top - $(this).offset().top;

    }
});
