Why not exactly?

When writing the above, should it actually be:

'You can't do that.'
'Why not, exactly?'

Thanks.

So it would just be the same if saying:

'How are you getting home, exactly?'

Or would that be any different?

Hi,

Coming back to this.

Would I do the same in the below sentence or would it be a bit different.

'However, he was definitely there, wherever there was exactly.'

I've written it without the comma, but do you think I need one?
