The transfer switch would need to be between the line and your intended load. You shouldn't back feed for the purpose of safety and to save your generator. On a portable generator it is easy to kill the main and back feed through the breaker box and no problem will arise as long as one doesn't forget to throw the main off.

If a lineman begins to work on the line that should be dead from the power company and you just now energized it with your generator guess what happens. The other thing is when the power is restored the phases won't match your generator and your generator will be fried.
