How about adding a couple of extra fields to the profile page showing current score, current position and highest position? It will make it easier for players outside of the top 20 to keep an eye on how they are doing.

I think an alternative option to this is to pass the playerid to any screen with a paged section. That way, all scores/etc would default to the page you're on, and avoid the need for clicking through each one trying to find your position.

Or a link at the bottom of paged screens "find me"

Or, how about having your current position in the high score chart displayed on the main screen in game.

I think this is the best option, assuming it's easily implemented. Knowing your own scores is important. But when you're actively competing for position, knowing how the people around you are doing is almost as important.

But, all the ideas are good. Another one, i believe originally suggested by Michtro, is display a line with your score at the bottom of every high score page just like is done on the level pages for the holds.

I meant actually still displaying the whole page, but showing the page you're on rather than the top x. This should actually be pretty straightforward (sql sub-select at worst). It just depends on how the paging code is implemented. I'm guessing the "misc" page will require the most work to it.
