Use an Indent

If you have to hang the punctuation by hand, one of the easiest ways is to use an indent, as shown below. This works when the quote is a paragraph on its own and is flush left. If you use this setup regularly in your publication, make a style sheet for it.

Set your indents so the first line marker is flush left, and the left indent marker is aligned along the stem of the first letter.
