You can use the BSA Browser utility in Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM). Set up a folder to extract to beforehand, open Oblivion - Meshes.bsa and then navigate to your desired mesh NIF file. Click on it to highlight and then click Extract. Browse to the folder you created and then OK.

 

Don't forget to extract the ground mesh for it (ground meshes have the _gnd.nif at the end) and you'll likely want the icon textures for it as well (found in Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa).
