You will want to make use of Yoast SEO's "WPSEO_Frontend" class. To display the meta description field content, you could do the following:

<?php
   if (class_exists('WPSEO_Frontend'))
   {
       echo WPSEO_Frontend::metadesc(false);
   }
?>

If i put your code it gives me a blank page. And if i put just "echo ..." i got this error "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/user999/public_html/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/frontend‌​/class-frontend.php on line 809" – ukelele2 Oct 3 '12 at 23:35
ok, let's see how you're implementing this code. I tested it and it works fine in a post loop, where the post has a Yoast SEO meta description filled in. – Ben Oct 4 '12 at 0:04
I'm implementing on archives.php for categories. I'm using "Meta description template" in "Titles & Metas" option from Yoast SEO. – ukelele2 Oct 4 '12 at 9:23

Solution:

<?php $object = new WPSEO_Frontend();
        echo $object->metadesc( false ); ?>
