There's a DIP socket on the STK500 that you can plug the Tiny13 into and 
program with. You may find that you have to remove jumpers after 
programming, though, depending on your circuit. A better solution might 
be to wire up a breadboard with the Tiny13 on it and put a programming 
header or cable on it so you can plug the STK500 onto it to program.

The debugWIRE is supported by the jtagII ICE and the Dragon, but I don't 
know when they're coming out.

Digi-key has been known for wishful thinking in the past.
