I use a temporary buffer, (like "*scratch*", but anything else is the 
same):
- select rectangle and copy it: M-x copy-rectangle-as-kill
- yank rectangle in in temporary buffer: C-x r y
- select what has just been yanked: C-x C-x
- move it in the kill-ring: C-w
- go to destination buffer and yank: C-y

I didn't know the command copy-rectangle-as-kill before; I used to kill 
the rectangle then re-yank, or undo, every time!
