It collides with TAB indentation. Remedy for those lines is SPC TAB.

I Step:

(defun my-fun (a)
  (let ((var 1)
	(var 3)
	(var 4))))

II Step:

(defun my-fun (a)
  (let ((var 1)
	<--- C-o brings it down to new line
(var 3)
	(var 4))))

III Step:

(defun my-fun (a)
  (let ((var 1)
	(var 2)
(var 3)        <--- TAB in first column will not work to indent it back
	(var 4))))

IV Step:

(defun my-fun (a)
  (let ((var 1)
	(var 2)
 (var 3)        <--- insert SPC, THEN TAB
	(var 4))))

IV Step:

(defun my-fun (a)
  (let ((var 1)
	(var 2)
	(var 3) 
	(var 4))))
