David, Control-n toggles the insertion following playback or not. Simple.
Further, if you have an in point, why not split the region? Command-e will split the region where the insertion is. Then you can get to anywhere in the timeline by pressing asterisk on the num pad, entering the value and pressing enter. When you get to where you want to make the out point, pause the transport, press Option-Tab while holding down the Shift key to select to the previous region boundary (which would be the place where you split the region and that's it. If you need to select across multiple regions, just press those commands multiple times and you should be good.
