- Shift+Command+H takes you to your home folder
- Command+UpArrow takes you one folder up
Have a look at the "Go To" menu in Finder for additional key combinations. Some people like to use the ~ character and the Go to Folder... shortcut as that expands to the current user's home folder like on other UNIX operating systems.
You may also want to have a look at Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts (HT1343) which contains a huge list of OS X Lion keyboard shortcuts.

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts, your home folder should be visible in the Finder sidebar by default:
If not, you can enable it in the Finder Preferences, under the Sidebar tab:
If the sidebar isn't visible, you can turn it on with View → Show Sidebar or ⌥⌘S.

You can set Finder's preferences (Command + ,) to open your home folder by default.
Open Terminal app. Run this command:
open ~
