I'm not sure what this 'average trajectory' may be. If you want an image
showing the amount of mobility encompassed by a cluster, ie. something
like this figure

then, all you need is a set of representative (superimposed) PDB files
corresponding to trajectory frames that belong to a given cluster (and,
possibly, colored according to atomic fluctuations as calculated from
the cluster).
Apologies if this is not what you had in mind.
