Well, the quote code is always entered at the top of the post. However, some users move their cursor up to the top and begin typing there. I don't know that there's a template edit that could it anyplace lower.

the "quote" features is actually a custom vB code that interprets the tag and then applys an html edit. You can use this code anywhere in your post, or by clicking on the "Quote" link or button.

So, I think it's really just a matter of cursor placement more than anything else.
