   Not sure that I understand, if your trying to retrieve the post ID try one of these. It works in most cases...

   // Works inside of the Loop
   function function_name() {
   global $post;
   $thePostID = $post->ID;
   }

   or:

   // Works in single post outside of the Loop
   function function_name() {
   global $wp_query;
   $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
   }

   You would then use:
   <?php add_post_meta($thePostID, $meta_key, $meta_value, $unique); ?>
