hi Eric, 
I had a similar request, and we worked out a solution to this a while
ago.  In the agenda, try 'i d', and then type something like
'11:00-11:45 Seminar with Bob', and the code should parse out the
timestamp as long as you have the following variable set to t:

(setq org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t)
