OMG - this is EXACTLY what Dudley does!! I have a reclining office chair at the computer and I have the keyboard on my lap with my knees up. When he gets up on my lap, I move the keyboard up to my chest and try to type like that. Then he decides to lay on my chest, so I move the keyboard down to my GROIN and attempt to type that way. Fortunately I don't always need to SEE the keyboard to type. He will sometimes lay so far up my chest that he's up against my face, and I can't see the TV (or the computer monitor). He also thinks that the part of him I love best is his "under-tail eye" and shows it to me close up at every opportunity.
Sammy's annoying habit is the nighttime "humping" ritual. He's neutered but must not know it, because he will jump up on the bed off and on all night, grab a hold of the covers with his teeth, and pretend my leg is his girlfriend. It usually doesn't wake me up until and unless his back claws dig into my leg as he's positioning himself, or if, when he gets the mouthful of covers, he bites too deep and bites my leg.
