I don't know what situation in particular you've got, but what often
works for me is going to the line of the yanked text that I want to be
the first line of a new list item, and using "C-c -" to explicitly
convert it to an item. That command includes some indentation heuristics
that, for me anyway, often creates the result I was looking for.
