Have you tried using the do_shortcode()
function?
EDIT
I’m not familiar with the TweetMeme shortcode, but here’s an example usage for putting a NextGen Gallery directly into a template file:
echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id="1" w="603" h="270"]' );
Simply replace with the appropriate shortcode (and parameters) for TweetMeme.

EDIT 2
With TweetMeme, you have another option:
- Change the Plugin “where” setting from “shortcode” to “manual”
- Place the
tweetmeme()
function in your Theme template file where you want to output the TweetMeme button.
