While there may be other ways, the first that comes to my mind is
to go into insert-mode (using "i" or "a" to position the cursor
where you want it) and then paste the register-contents using
control-R followed by the register-name (use the double-quote to
use the default/scratch register).

:help i_CTRL-R

You may also want to read the following bits about CTRL-R
submodes (":help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-R", ":help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O", and
":help i_CTRL-R_CTRL-P") regarding how indentation behaves.
