My DMacro package does this.  Well, actually it does a whole lot more,
but when I started writing it it was to do this.  It's available from
archive.cis.ohio-state.edu.  But I'll send you a copy.

Method A:
 1) Type "Esc Esc".
 2) If Emacs asks you something, type "Space".
 3) Type "(car '(1 2))<Return>"

Method B:
 1) Go to the *scratch* buffer.
 2) Type "(car '(1 2))<LineFeed>"

Both methods could have been gleaned from the User's Manual.
