This can be accomplished using standard Vim commands:

Line 2:
"ayy dd
Line 6:
"Ayydd
Line 10:
"Ayydd
Line 20:
"ap

Or you can use my plugin:
YankRing.vim : Maintains a history of previous yanks and deletes
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234

You would simply delete each line.
Go to Line 20, hit F11 (default map) to open the yankring window.
Visually select all the deleted lines and hit p or P or gp or gP.
You can also hit r, which tells the YankRing to paste them in reverse
order (depending on the order you deleted them in the first place).

The YankRing works on Vim 7.1, but has additional features in Vim 7.2.
