The simple answer to this is, it is more a case of your bunny training you!
Bunnies are naturally very clean animals. They like to always use the same 'latrine' area. This works greatly to our advantage when training them. Simply put newspaper down and see where they like to go. Once they have picked a corner put down the litter tray! Encourage them to use it by putting some hay in there along with the wood shavings/paper pulp litter. Bunnies like to nibble while they pee.
If the litter tray is not where You want it to be... you will gradually need to move it to a more suitable place. Let the bunny get used to it first, after a couple of weeks you can start the moving process. Always move it when the bunny has used it though, so they can smell that this is the same litter tray!

~also it helps to try "baiting" the litter box... take some poo from where it goes and move it into the litter box this will act as the "bait" then make sure to clean the old area well before you expect them to use the litter box... this worked wonders for me when i trained my rabbit remember rabbits are twice as easy to train as a cat~
