I like this kind of keyboard shortcut:

For python:
<p TAB C-w

For emacs-lisp

<el TAB C-w

What else would you want?

If you like yasnippets, you could do this:

# -*- mode: snippet; require-final-newline: nil -*-
# --

#+begin_src python
`(yank)`
#+end_src

$0

Or some kind of lisp function like:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun paste-python-code ()
  (interactive)
  (insert "#+BEGIN_SRC python\n")
  (yank)
  (insert "\n#+END_SRC"))
#+END_SRC

I guess you need one of these for every language type.
