:set noautoindent I have the same problem, but only when I use VIM from inside a terminal. When I open GVIM it pastes perfectly. That's another solution I guess. Hopefully you also know about the < operator. Use Shift-V to highlight all the improperly indented rows, then use say 50< to un-indent them 50 places, which is usually enough to square them up.
