The simple answer is: yes.
Only HD wallets are created using a "seed"... so if you haven't already, create the HD account in Mycelium, make sure to write down your twelve word seed, and put it somewhere safe!
You should then be able to sweep the coins from the ATM paperwallet into your Mycelium wallet.
NOTE: There isn't an obvious "sweep" option in Mycelium... once you have your HD account set up, Click the "3 dot" menu and select "Cold Storage"... scan the QR Code (or enter the private key from paper wallet) and after it sync and finds the coins... you can use the "My addresses" button on the "Recipient Address" screen to sweep into your account. (Alternatively, go into your account and select "receive" and copy the address to the clipboard before you select "Cold Storage")

Hello forum
after installing Mycelium I would like to sweep bitcoins from ATM paper wallet to my Mycelium wallet :-)
Should I first generate a HD-account before importing bitcoins to Mycelium (the goal is to be able to backup
all (future) changing addresses with a single master seed (12 random words)) ?
Thank's a lot
