You could create a new target for "Publish" and from a command line, specify the target and include a parameter that contains the path where you'd want to publish the web site.

<Target Name="Publish">
<PropertyGroup>
  <PublishDirectory>$(PublishDirectory)</PublishDirectory>
</PropertyGroup>

<!-- publish logic using a copy files task or custom task goes here -->
</Target>

From a command line, invoke MSBUILD specifying the target to execute and the path to publish:

msbuild.exe /t:Publish /p:PublishDirectory="D:\InetPubExt\HomeApp\"

That should get you started :)
