I run in to this problem sometimes when yanking a piece of code with
certain indentation into a new place where it should have different (more
or less) indentation. My solution is:
C-y
C-x C-x (exchange-point-and-mark) to re-highlight the yanked text
<TAB> to properly indent it for the new contexxt
