There is a number of restrictions with default settings. However, if you
put "!" in front of float specifiers (e.g. [!htb]) as described in LyX User
Guide (section 4.3.1.2), LaTeX will ignore most of them.

You may try "nofloat" package, it provides caption and numbering similar to
float environment. If you work with LaTeX directly you can use "float"
package with option "H":[1]
\begin{table}[H]
...
\end{table}
"H" means: put exactly where it is if there is enough space or move the
whole thing to the top of next page. When the later case occurs it's up to
you to fill the blank gap.
Footnotes:
[1] To use [H] option with figure and table environment, you must first
invoke the command: \restylefloat{figure} and \restylefloat{table}.
