The easiest way might be to just call GT::Date. If you want a date in the same format used throughout the template set, all you need to do is put:
<%GT::Date::date_get%>
If you want to change the format, you would do something like this:
<%GT::Date::date_get(0, "...date format here...")%>
The date format options are on the GT::Date documentation page, in the Module Documentation section of the admin panel Help pages.
