You can do it by
unzip archive.zip folder/*; mv folder/* .;rm -r folder
I don't think there is an option in unzip to do it directly.
To make it shorter
f=folder; unzip archive.zip $f; mv $f .;rm -r $f
Or as a script
#!/bin/sh
unzip $1 $2
mv $2 .
rm -r $2
Run as script.sh archive.zip folder.

According to the answers here you can do it with single quotes ' around the folder you want to extract. Use -j for junk paths which means the archive's directory structure is not recreated. Use -d to specify what folder you want it extracted to. Below is shown extracting a folder with 1992 in the folder name from an archive that has multiple folders contained with in by running this line:
unzip -j archive.zip 'folder/to/extract/*' -d 'where/to/extract/to/'
Example:
terrance@terrance-ubuntu:/media/500GB$ unzip -l Holiday Lemmings Pack
Archive: Holiday Lemmings Pack.zip
