From the SRD, Magic overview: conjuration spells:
"A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it."

Thank you for the responses,
I had a fellow gamer try to use this in our game and I (being the DM) refused to allow it to happen. I feel privately vindicated that I was right in not allowing something, despite the fact that he harranged me and made me out to be the bad guy.

Slightly off topic, but how do people rule this:
"A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it."
when summoning or teleporting a critter whose natural state is flight, such as a lantern archon or air elemental.
What about an incorporeal critter like a wraith or shadow - can you only summon those onto a horizontal wall of force or similar effect, since the ground can't possibly support them?

The line about "on a surface" spoils this.
However, I'd allow you to summon a flying creature on a liquid surface, since that qualifies as a surface and it's still flying.
Basically, I rule that there is a hidden magic in surfaces, borders, regions of change and interference, and you can break these rules only at points of transition -- you can only call something into being where there is already friction from different elements rubbing against each other, creating little rips in reality.
