If you're using a koma class, you can use
\begin{addmargin}[<leftmargin>]{<bothmargins>}
your text
\end{addmargin}
(you have to use ERT/TeXmode since this is not directly supported in LyX).
or you can create a new environment. Add to preamble:
\newenvironment{mymargin}
{\list{}{%
\leftmargin3em% % adjust the value 3em as you need it
\rightmargin\leftmargin}%
\item\relax}
{\endlist}
and use in the document
\begin{mymargin}
your text
\end{mymargin}
