Write a custom templatetag and use a regular expression (a capture group would do the trick) to replace the desired part.

If the quotation marks are added to your string when you are submitting the form, you could use the .strip() method when accessing the POST data. You can also specify what characters you want to remove. Check it out here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html
