You can import PSD files into Indesign

make the layer you want into a new document, do not flatten the image. Save it as a photoshop file and then place it into In Design.

If you aren't using layer masks or transparencies in the layer you should create a clipping path in Photoshop (using the pen tool draw around the shape then use the drop down menu in the Paths palette and make it a clipping path) This should get rid of the background that is showing up.

I would cut and paste it, but it would fill up the whole page. It gives you an example of how to use it.

Let me know if it helps.
