Ah, OK, now I understand. First I'll explain how to remedy the problem that exists and then I'll suggest a way to do what you're trying to do in a better way.
So, after you've recorded that punch-in, stop the transport. Assuming your insertion point isn't following playback, you should be right at the beginning of the region you just recorded. Press Option-Shift-Tab to select from the current region boundary to the previous region boundary. To extend the end of the currently selected boundary, use Command-num pad plus. The increment is determined by the nudge value. To increase or decrease the nudge value, use Option-Command-plus or minus on the num pad. I think the smallest amount, by default, that you can go down to with the shortcut is 60 ticks. If you temporarily switch to minutes:seconds, you can go down to one millisecond. The subject of changing that nudge value can be a post unto itself. Anyway, hopefully, that helps with the current situation. Now, for a better way to accomplish what you want to do: While auditioning the track, press down arrow at the exact point where you want to punch in. Enable Pre/Post roll with Command-K. Press Command-Space bar and you'll hear the bar leading up to the punch-in point. This will give you time to get into position. At the punch-in point, Pro Tools will automatically enter record mode. If you were to select a range of punch-in/punch out with down arrow then up arrow, Pro Tools will play a pre-roll, enter record for the duration of the selection and then exit record mode and play a post roll. You can change the Pre-Post roll amounts in the Transport window. Route the mouse pointer to the field and double-click. Enter the number of bars or whatever and press Return. Hopefully that makes sense.
