For the benefit of others looking to do the same thing as myself...
I finally discovered how to make the NEO work as I wanted, albeit from a slightly different approach, but effectively accomplishing the same net result. Actually, the solution is even more efficient than what I initially envisioned. I don't even have to open the LastPass app on my phone. I only need to place the phone near a pocket with the NEO in it, and it automatically logs me in and opens the LastPass app.
I found the answer in a reply to a comment on this page http://blog.lastpass.com/2012/03/introd ... t-for.html.
Here's what it says there:

Will there be a way to use/swipe the NFC on the NEO as a substitute for entering the master password, on both the phone and/or PC? That would be more beneficial to me

@Anonymous -- you can select to 'remember password' and then utilize the Yubikey as a 'single' factor instead of part of multi-factor. We don't recommend this due to loss of security but it is possible.

Another helpful bit of information was here http://helpdesk.lastpass.com/security-o ... ubiKey+NEO
Don't worry so much about the video, the information you really need is the text below the video, which is as follows:

After you've registered the YubiKey with your LastPass account, ensure that mobile access is "disallowed" in your LastPass Icon > My LastPass Vault > Account Settings link > YubiKey tab.
Then download the Personalization Tool from Yubico. In the Personalization tool, select the "Tools" option from the menu at the top.
In the Tools menu, select the NDEF Programming Option.
In the NDEF Programming option page, select Configuration Slot 1. Set the NDEF Type to "URI (http://..)", then in the NDEF payload field, type: "https://lastpass.com/mobile/?otp="
Press the Program button to write the NDEF2 string to your YubiKey NEO.
Now you can use the YubiKey NEO when logging in via the LastPass Android app, or used as a normal YubiKey on your desktop.

The answer was so simple, but I was looking at it from the wrong perspective. Hopefully, this will save someone else the frustration of trying to figure this out, as it didn't seem to be fully documented anywhere on the Yubico site.
