'type' => 'group'Adds a group of fields.
piklist('field', array(
'type' => 'group'
,'field' => 'address_group' // removing this parameter saves all fields as separate meta
,'label' => __('Address (Grouped)', 'piklist-demo')
,'list' => false

If the main field value is set for the group, unserialize the contents of the field like this:
$group_data = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'address_group', true);
$group_data = maybe_unserialize($group_data); // nice WP helper function to unserialize if needed
print_r($group_data); // output the results or loop through them with a `foreach` statement.
If the main field value is not set for the group, then each field is saved as separate meta. You can retrieve like this:
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'address_1', false);
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'address_2', false);
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'city', false);
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'state', false);
echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'postal_code', false);
