excerpt of article to appear

I want the excerpt to appear in a certain section of the layout when a visitor lands on that article/webpage. How do i get the relevant excerpt to appear when landing on that article? I tried inserting <txp:excerpt /> inside the proper form, but I get an error saying that Article tags cannot be used outside an article context How do I do this properly?

I also tried;

<txp:if_excerpt />
     <txp:excerpt />
<txp:else />
</txp:if_excerpt />
