I found a potential solution which I'm still evaluating. An "experimental"
extension called CatBoxAtTop exists and does exactly what I want, places all specified
categories, wherever they are in the page, at the top of the page in the upper right
corner in a table. The categories still are visible at the bottom as usual, this is just
an extra table of the categories shown at the top. Quite nice. Works with Monobook under
MW 1.15.1 but have not tested with other skins.

Nevio's suggestion is good for having the category name & link appear
where you want it, but it *won't* add the article to the category.
The "classic" skin puts the category names near the top right corner.
Have the user try this & other skins.

Try writting [[:Category:"the one you wants"|name of the wanted category]]
and edit this link wherever you want on the page. I don´t know if that is
what you mean, but...
