I think what you are looking for is GazetteerPanel.java, it lets you enter the placename in a textbox and will use a GeoCode API to retrieve the lat/lon for a placename from a Yahoo API.
The actual class that makes the request to the Yahoo API and parses out the lat/lon is Gazetteer.java in gov.nasa.worldwind.util. The spec for the Geocode API is here http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html.

The GazetteerPanel is a panel that just purely needs to be instantiated passing in a handle to the worldwind instance.. e.g. frame.add(new GazetteerPanel(wwd)).. You don't need to set up any listeners, etc.. It takes care of that..

Also you can use GeoNames to get a place lat/lon given a place name, place postal code and more.
