To get this done, you need to select your hero and hold the shift key and order move orders then you'll see small flags at the place where you ordered your hero to go. This indicates that the hero is ordered to go there after he accomplishes his earlier order which is the move command.

While teleporting hold the shift key and order a move command either left or right or on the front side of the tower.

Shift-queuing items are very hard but it will be easy when you practice enough. Let me give you a sample by making use of Tinker. For example we have Boots of Travel, Kellens Dagger, and Guinsoo. First thing to do will be to teleport to the creep where you can see a hero close to it. While the teleport action is not finished, hold the shift key then click dagger and then click right beside the opponent, keep in mind that we're still holding down the shift key, then click the Guinsoo and then click the target, press the 1st skill and click the target, then press the 2nd skill then order the hero to move back then release the shift key.
Note that this may be done with other heroes not just the hero I pointed out above. Practice and master it to enable you to use it correctly.
