Dr Gabe Mirkin uses an interesting setup for his wife Diane. It's a wide mountain bike bar with aero bars mounted on the ends. That puts her hands, (and aero bars), just slightly outboard of his hips, and he doesn't seem to have any problem mounting with this setup. I assume it's more for her comfort than anything else, but I'm willing to bet that it's more aero as well.
Pics are on the
Panthers Tandem Club members page, then scroll down to the Mirkins.
There are also some pics of them riding this setup in the "Ride Pics" category.
